Furniture Shipping Cost from Port St. Lucie, Florida to Sao Paulo

Shipping to Brazil from the USA costs vary widely, from around $18 for small, light items (USPS First-Class) to $100+ for heavier/faster shipments (FedEx/UPS/Express), depending heavily on weight, speed, and carrier, with USPS offering budget options and DHL/FedEx/UPS providing faster, more reliable service, but be aware Brazil has high import taxes (60%+) on declared values over $50.

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.
