Furniture Shipping Cost from Portland, Oregon to Brussels

The average cost of an international move — including expenses like shipping and moving services — can range from about $3,000 to $18,000 or more.

Shipping from the USA to Belgium costs vary widely, from around $18 for small, light packages via budget options like USPS First-Class Package International Service or Asendia (longer delivery) to $35-$40 for 1lb packages with faster couriers like DHL or FedEx and up to $100+ for heavier or faster express services, depending on weight, speed (days vs. weeks), and carrier (USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL). Expect costs to increase significantly with package size and weight, with budget air freight starting around $3.50/lb but taking weeks, while expedited services cost much more.

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.
