Furniture Shipping Cost from San Salvador to Monterrey

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.

Shipping a 50 lb package costs roughly $40 to $90 for ground services, varying greatly by distance, carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed, and if you use flat rates or discounts, with USPS Ground Advantage often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive cross-country, plus potential surcharges for heavy items. For example, short-haul USPS might be ~$38, while cross-country UPS could reach ~$72 plus fees, or you could find FedEx Ground around $70.
