How to Send Furniture to India

Sending furniture to India from the United States is not entirely different from shipping furniture within the U.S., but there are few things that should be taken into consideration. When choosing an international shipping company, you'll want to ask them about their methods of shipping, their prices and if they will insure your furniture and for how much. Sending furniture to India is very expensive. If you're sending furniture to India because you're moving there, you may want to consider if it would be cheaper to buy new furniture when get there.

Instructions

      Compare international moving companies. USPS, UPS and FedEx are the three major international shipping companies in the United States. You can get a free quote from each of these companies by calling their toll free numbers. In order to get an exact quote, you will need to measure length, width and height of the furniture and weigh it. Weighing your furniture may be difficult, but as long as you have the measurements and rough estimation of how much it weighs, the phone representative will be able to give you a quote.

      Choose whether to ship your furniture by sea or by air. Shipping by sea is typically less expensive; however, shipping by air is usually quicker and is a better choice for fragile items because they will be handled less.

      Call the shipping company of your choice and schedule a time for furniture pick up. While you're on the phone scheduling your pick up, the representative will also ask you for the shipping address and name of recipient, so have that information ready. The movers will take care of the rest when they arrive.
