Furniture Shipping Cost from Saint Petersburg to Tel Aviv

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. However, smaller moves over shorter distances may cost less, while larger, longer-distance moves may cost more.

Shipping costs from the US to Israel vary widely, from around $20-$40 for small, slow packages (USPS, Asendia) to $40-$90+ for faster services (UPS, DHL, FedEx), depending on weight, speed, and carrier, with examples showing a 1lb package starting under $30 and a 5lb package potentially costing $40-$80+. Expect to pay more for faster delivery (days vs. weeks) and heavier items, with options like USPS (slower, cheaper) and DHL/UPS (faster, pricier).

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.
