Furniture Shipping Cost from Madrid to Washington, District of Columbia

Shipping from Spain to the USA costs vary wildly, from around €25-€35 for small, slow parcels (Correos) to €40-€70 for faster express (FedEx, UPS, DHL), and $4,000-$6,000+ for full container freight, depending on speed (days vs. weeks), weight/size, carrier, and service type (economy, express, freight). Expect delays for customs, and use online calculators from carriers like DHL, FedEx Spain, UPS Spain, or Parcel Monkey for accurate quotes.

Shipping furniture overseas is often not worth it unless pieces are high-quality, expensive, or deeply sentimental, as costs (thousands of dollars) usually outweigh the benefit, especially when good, affordable local options exist and appliances/electronics rarely work due to power/signal issues, making selling and buying new often the better, fresher start. Weigh the high cost of shipping (potentially $3,000-$10,000+) against replacement costs and the emotional value, factoring in the destination's climate and local furniture availability.
