Furniture Shipping Cost from Riga to Abu Dhabi

On average, the cost to ship furniture and personal effects to Dubai starts from £1,058 for a small shipment via shared container and from £2,857 for a larger shipment via full 20ft container. Your final cost will depend on the size of your shipment and your required services.

Shipping internationally from or into the UAE can be one of the most expensive line items in your cross-border e-commerce operation. Between customs duties, VAT, carrier fees, and packaging, the true landed cost often ends up much higher than expected.

The cheapest way to ship to Dubai usually involves USPS First-Class Mail International or GlobalPost Economy for light items (< 4.4 lbs), offering budget-friendly rates with some tracking, while multi-carrier platforms like Easyship or Parcel Monkey provide discounted rates for major couriers (FedEx, UPS, DHL) for heavier or time-sensitive packages, often beating retail prices with their volume discounts. Always compare rates using online calculators, considering your package weight, speed needs, and tracking requirements for the best value.
