Still waiting to see if I am going or not, no official offer yet, but here is what I have found out so far.
I was quoted by one company a rate of $11 per cubic foot for door to door service, Seattle to Chengdu. Minimum 250 cu-ft, and I am sure after some point it would get cheaper for much larger volume, but this was priced for around 300 cu-ft shipment.
Another company, offered me a wooden box of just under 200 cu-ft and with 1,000 load, and it was for about $4k (a bit steep) also door to door, or a 20 ft container (I think it was over 1,000 cu-ft) and about 3,000 lbs of weight for about $7.5k
Looks like the furniture will be staying behind. but few boxes and couple of bicycles will probably be coming with.
