Shipping Cost from Indianapolis, Indiana to Seoul

Shipping furniture can range from $50 for small items via parcel to over $1,000 for large items or long distances, with typical costs for a single piece falling between $200 and $800, depending heavily on size, weight, distance (local vs. cross-country), and service (standard freight vs. white glove). A couch might cost $300-$500, while a bedroom set can be $800-$3,000, with factors like packing, speed, and if you use LTL freight or consolidate shipments significantly impacting the final price.

The short answer of whether shipping furniture is worth it is simply, it's up to you. Many international moving companies will encourage their customers to ship more, as it raises the prices. But as mentioned, shipping furniture is usually more expensive than buying it brand new in your destination.

Shipping a 50-pound box typically costs between $40 and $130+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (FedEx Ground, UPS Ground, or USPS Ground Advantage are common choices), and any discounts, with FedEx often slightly cheaper for heavy items, while USPS can be good for shorter distances. For faster options, expect costs to jump significantly to over $100, sometimes much more.
