Furniture Shipping Cost from Ulaanbaatar to Johannesburg

Shipping furniture is expensive, typically costing $300 to over $1,000 for cross-country moves, varying greatly by size, weight, distance, and service, with small items like chairs sometimes costing $50-$200 via parcel, while large sofas can be $300-$1,500+ using LTL freight or specialized movers. Expect higher prices for long distances, heavy items, and white-glove services, but save money with disassembly or freight consolidation.

If you've invested in high-quality, expensive furniture, replacing everything in your new country might be more costly than shipping it. Particularly if you own pieces like a custom-made sofa, luxury dining set, or high-end mattress, the cost to buy similar items abroad may far exceed the shipping fees.

Sea freight is $1,989 to $2,431 for a 20GP and $2,335 to $2,854 for a 40HQ container to Durban and Cape Town. LCL remains steady at $200 per cbm. Air freight is $7.16 per kg for 1,000kg+ shipments.
