Shipping Cost from Los Angeles, California to London

Shipping furniture from the US to the UK costs vary widely, from $2,500 to over $10,000 for a full household move, depending on volume (bedroom size) or using partial/full containers, with smaller shipments or specific items costing hundreds to thousands, while major carriers handle smaller parcels cheaper but struggle with large furniture, necessitating specialized movers for sea freight. Expect around $4,000-$7,000 for a 1-2 bedroom move via sea freight, but costs can be higher or lower based on distance, container size, and service level (door-to-door vs. port-to-port).

Sea freight Full Container (40-foot): For larger moves, a 40-foot container to the UK typically costs $12,000–$15,000, covering both loading and ocean transit. Air freight, Urgent or Smaller Loads: If you need furniture moved by air, costs range from $12,000 to 20,000+, depending on total weight and service speed.

Ocean freight shipping Ocean shipping is a great option for bulkier shipments since it offers much more space than air for a lower price. Depending on how large your shipments are, and how frequently you ship, you can choose either LCL (less than a container load) or FCL (full container load).
