Been reading the thread on shipping a 911 to Europe, must admit it is tempting and the pricing does not seem too absurd....so I will dig into it more deeply.

But, the subject of this thread is how to ship a couch? We have a high end, German made sectional leather couch that we can't use but would fit perfectly in a friends place in Rotterdam, Holland...right combination of parts, colour, everything...

If I could ship it to him for less than $1000 or so, it would make good economic sense (a new one is about $7500). Don't really care when exactly it goes there, just want it to arrive undamaged.

I checked with one shipper and he suggested using a whole container (about $4000), which is both wasteful and too expensive.

Anyone know whether this is even economically feasible or whether I should just move on..

I am in Calgary, Alberta by the way....
