Furniture Shipping Cost from Osaka to San Jose

Shipping from Japan to USA pricing At about $3 per kilo, standard air freight is the cheapest option for shipments between about 150 kilos and 500 kg. Very light shipments for their size might be charged on dimensional weight, rather than actual weight.

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, destination (Asia/Europe often $2.5k-$4k for a 1-bed), method (sea freight cheaper than air), and service level (shared vs. full container). Factors like weight, distance, carrier, packing, and origin/destination services (pickup/delivery) significantly influence the final price.

To ship a single piece of furniture across long distances, choose a parcel carrier like UPS or USPS for small items. For larger pieces, such as beds or sofas, consider a freight service offering LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipping —it's cost-effective, and your furniture will be transported with other loads.
