Question 1

Question 2

Can you send a car from the USA to Colombia?

Accepted Answer

For most cars from the U.S., the cost of hauling to Colombia is $1,700 to $4,100 (this assumes the introductory shipment of a standard vehicle). Most shipments to the area come from a shipping container, so larger vehicles that cannot fit into a container are assessed an additional cost.

Question 3

What is the cheapest way to ship a car internationally?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

Question 4

How expensive is it to ship a piece of furniture?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Is it worth it to ship furniture overseas?

Accepted Answer

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.

Accepted Answer

Moving a piano costs about $400 on average. However, costs vary depending on several factors, such as cost per mile (the starting price is about $50), the type of piano (a grand piano is typically high-priced), height and weight, ease of access, and the need for disassembly and reassembly.

Question 10

Is a piano dolly better than hiring movers?

Accepted Answer

Lifting such a monstrous piece of equipment is back-breaking work, even if you're only lifting it onto a dolly. Many times, confident homeowners attempt to lift a piano and not only damage the instrument but injure themselves. Next time, err on the side of caution: let professionals handle the heavy lifting instead.

Question 11

Are piano movers worth it?

Question 13

What can I use to move heavy gym equipment?
