Furniture Shipping Cost from Lisbon to Lusaka

Shipping furniture overseas costs anywhere from a few hundred dollars for small items to $2,000 - $10,000+ for a household, depending heavily on volume (size/weight), distance, and method (shared container vs. full container vs. air freight). Sea freight (shared or full container) is cheapest for large moves, while air freight is best for urgency/small items but very expensive, with costs influenced by packing, customs, and delivery.
