Shipping from the Netherlands to the USA costs vary widely, from around $18 for small, light packages (USPS First Class) up to $50-$100+ for faster courier services (DHL, UPS, FedEx), and significantly more for large cargo, depending on speed (days vs. weeks), weight, dimensions, and carrier, with budget options like USPS (starting around $18) and premium options like UPS/DHL offering 2-4 day delivery for $40-$60+ for small parcels.

The cheapest way to ship furniture usually involves using Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight, sharing truck space for non-full truckloads, or exploring bus freight (like Greyhound) for cost savings if it fits rules, but the absolute cheapest often means DIY methods like renting a truck or using ride-share movers (Dolly, GoShare) for local moves, or leveraging marketplaces like Shiply/uShip for competitive LTL quotes. Key cost savers include disassembling furniture, packing it yourself, and choosing slower delivery times.
