FAQ about shipping furniture domestically and abroad via courier
How much does it cost to ship furniture overseas?
The cost of the shipping service always depends on the distance between the pick-up and delivery destinations, the weight and size of the furniture you plan to ship internationally as well as the urgency and type of transport service selected.
What is the cheapest way to ship furniture overseas via courier?
The cheapest option for shipping furniture via courier is to dismantle the item and pack it in the most compact way possible.
Can I book furniture door-to-door delivery?
