Shipping Cost from San Jose, California to Bangkok

Shipping furniture overseas costs anywhere from $2,000 to over $10,000, depending heavily on volume (more stuff = more cost), destination (Asia/Europe vs. Australia), shipping method (shared container vs. full container/air freight), and service level (self-pack vs. full-service movers). Expect to pay roughly $2,500-$4,500 for a one-bedroom equivalent to Europe/Asia, while large moves can hit $8,000-$13,000+, with air freight being the priciest but fastest option.

Shipping from the USA to Thailand costs vary widely, from around $10-$20 for small, light packages (1lb) via budget/economy services (like Aramex, USPS First Class) with longer transit (8-16 days) to $40-$70+ for faster options (FedEx, UPS, USPS Express) with 2-6 day delivery, and even more for large or heavy items, with major factors being carrier, speed, weight, size, and service level (express vs. economy).

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.
