Furniture Shipping Cost from Sacramento, California to La Paz

Moving furniture to Mexico costs anywhere from a few thousand dollars for small shipments (e.g., $2,800-$3,500 for a 1-bedroom) to $8,000 or more for larger homes, averaging around $3,500-$6,000 for typical moves, with prices depending heavily on volume, distance, and service (sea freight cheaper than air). Be aware of potential Aduana (customs) taxes (around 19% ) and the need for a Menaje de Casa permit to import used household goods tax-free within six months of visa finalization, often requiring a customs broker.

Local shipping costs between $300 and $800 per piece, while international rates range from $1,000 to $4,500 per item. Professional moving companies charge $25 to $50 per person per hour. If you want someone to pack your belongings before moving them, expect to pay an additional $150 to $750 for packing services.

Ocean freight shipping Ocean shipping is a great option for bulkier shipments since it offers much more space than air for a lower price. Depending on how large your shipments are, and how frequently you ship, you can choose either LCL (less than a container load) or FCL (full container load).
