Furniture Shipping Cost from Osaka to Arlington, Texas

Check with a local pro for your specific job. The cost to move furniture depends on the type and weight of your belongings, the distance you're moving, and the shipment method you choose.

Shipping from Japan to the US varies wildly, from around $20-$30 for small items (under 1kg) via Japan Post (EMS/Airmail) to $60+ for heavier or faster options, depending on weight, size, speed (days vs. months), and carrier ( Japan Post, DHL, FedEx ), with costs increasing significantly for larger/heavier packages (e.g., 2kg+), with Japan Post generally cheaper but slower than private couriers like DHL/FedEx.

The cheapest way to ship bulky items involves comparing ground services like FedEx Ground and UPS Ground for heavier packages (over 2 lbs), using USPS Ground Advantage for lighter items or specific dense/heavy items fitting Flat Rate boxes, and utilizing online platforms like Pirate Ship for discounts, while always right-sizing packaging and considering freight for very large/heavy pallets.
