Furniture Shipping Cost from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Dubai

Shipping from the USA to Dubai varies widely, from around $20-$40 for small, light items via economy services (7-14 days) to $50-$100+ for faster options (2-5 days) with carriers like USPS, UPS, FedEx, or DHL, depending heavily on weight, dimensions, speed, and chosen carrier; expect a 5% customs duty on value plus shipping, though some items have higher duties.

Ocean freight shipping Ocean shipping is a great option for bulkier shipments since it offers much more space than air for a lower price. Depending on how large your shipments are, and how frequently you ship, you can choose either LCL (less than a container load) or FCL (full container load).

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.
