Malaysia exports 85 percent of its yearly furniture manufacturing volume to more than 160 countries worldwide, the largest markets being the United States, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Europe, India, the United Arab Emirates, and South Africa.

What's involved in furniture shipping?

Disassembling furniture pieces

Dismantling includes separating your furniture's removable parts to make it easier to ship and handle. 

Selecting the most appropriate packaging materials

You must pack your furniture in shippable boxes or containers after it has been disassembled. You can pack all your furniture in one big box or separate it into smaller boxes. 

Measuring and weighing furniture

It is crucial to measure and weigh your furniture so that the carrier services can provide you with the best deal. 

Choosing a Freight Company

Choosing a company to deliver your furniture for you is one of the main steps involved in the process. The dimensions and weight of a given piece of furniture determine the optimal shipping options. Choose a trustworthy shipping firm whenever possible, especially if you are moving fragile furniture.

Furniture shipping average price

Shipping furniture may be expensive, especially if you send a lot of stuff over a long distance. The breakdown of furniture delivery prices on average is as follows:

Local shipment: ranging in price from $75 to $250.

State-to-state shipment: On average, between $150 and $600 for furniture weighing 50 to 100 pounds.

International shipment: the most expensive, with costs ranging from $1000 to $3500.

Again, the price of shipping furniture will vary depending on various factors, including freight options and the weight of your furniture.
