Furniture Shipping Cost from Taipei to Luanda

Shipping furniture overseas costs anywhere from a few hundred dollars for small items to $2,000 - $10,000+ for a household, depending heavily on volume (size/weight), distance, and method (shared container vs. full container vs. air freight). Sea freight (shared or full container) is cheapest for large moves, while air freight is best for urgency/small items but very expensive, with costs influenced by packing, customs, and delivery.

Air freight is the fastest transportation method, with cargo taking between 1 and 5 days to reach its destination port in the US. Ocean freight takes longer. It can take up to 19 days for goods to reach their US destination port from Taiwan.

Photograph furniture condition. Measure and weigh the item. Gather shipping materials. Disassemble the furniture (if possible). Bag any small parts. Protect any fragile spots. Wrap larger pieces. Use cardboard or corrugated sheets.
