Furniture Shipping Cost from Yokohama to Niamey

Shipping from Japan to the US varies wildly, from around $20-$40 for small, light items (under 1kg) via Airmail/EMS to $100+ for heavy boxes, with costs depending heavily on weight, size (volumetric), speed (EMS is fast/pricier; Surface is slow/cheaper), and carrier (Japan Post vs. DHL/FedEx). Expect lighter items like books to cost $25-$40, while heavier personal effects could be $90-$250+.

Shipping from Japan to the US takes anywhere from 1-5 days for express air freight (like DHL/FedEx) to 2-4 weeks for standard airmail, and even longer (1-3 months) for the cheapest surface mail, with ocean freight falling in the middle at 2-4 weeks to the West Coast and longer for the East Coast, heavily depending on the chosen carrier and customs clearance.

Cost of Shipping Furniture Across Country On average, a single large item, like a couch or dresser, costs between $300 and $1,500 to ship cross-country. A queen mattress is usually $300–$600, while a large sectional sofa can run closer to $800–$1,500. The wide range makes sense once you see what goes into the cost.
