Furniture Shipping Cost from Seoul to Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Shipping from Korea to the USA varies wildly in price, from around $20-$50 for small, slow postal packages (Korea Post/USPS) to $100-$200+ for faster courier services (DHL/FedEx/UPS) or heavier items (Air Freight), and potentially thousands for large commercial sea freight. Costs depend on weight, dimensions, speed (air vs. sea), and carrier, with air being faster but pricier than ocean, though small items can be cheaper by air.

Shipping from Korea to the US takes days to weeks for air freight (fastest) and weeks to months for sea freight (cheapest), depending heavily on the service (Express, Standard, Economy), carrier (FedEx, USPS, EMS), and customs, with express air taking 3-8 days and surface mail potentially 1-3 months.

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.
