Furniture Shipping Cost from Yokohama to Cancun

The cost of international movers can vary from $1,500 to $18,000 or more. Keep in mind that these costs are influenced by factors like the size of your home, the services you require, the total weight and volume of your shipment, the shipment method chosen, and the distance you're moving.

Shipping from Japan to the US costs vary wildly, from around $20-$40 for small, light items (Airmail/Small Packet) to hundreds for heavy or bulky goods, with speeds from days (EMS) to months (Surface), depending on weight, size, speed (EMS, Airmail, Surface), and carrier (Japan Post, FedEx, DHL). Expect at least $20-$30 for light packages, while heavy boxes can easily exceed $100-$400+.

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.
