Default The Average Cost of Sending Big Crates to a Foreign Country?

Do you know approximately how much it would cost to have a crate about
the size of a bed that weighs a couple hundred pounds sent to the
Philipines?

Or to send a crate like this halfway around the world, do you know
what the cost would come to?

If you don't know and had to guess, would it cost over two thousand
dollars?

Thank you in advance.


Twin bed or king sized? Could easily cost that much. Are you sending it
air freight or by ship in a container? What about duty and customs? Once
at the dock or airport, there are other costs in having it delivered so
money can be saved if the recipient can pick up something that large. Are
there restrictions on the wood used in the crate? Some countries require
fumigation and certification of the wood to avoid parasites.

You'd be far better off contacting a freight forwarder for information.
