How Much Does It Cost To Ship Appliances? In general, for an appliance shipping service, you can expect to pay around $1.81 per mile for shorter trips and $0.59 per mile for longer journeys.

Shipping a 50 lb box typically costs $40 to $130+ for ground services, with FedEx and UPS Ground often being cheaper than USPS Ground Advantage, though costs vary significantly based on distance (zone), speed, and if you use discounted rates through third-party platforms. For short distances, expect lower costs (around $40-$80), while cross-country shipments will be higher.

To calculate shipping costs, determine your total expenses (materials + carrier fees + labor/overhead) and add a profit margin, then decide on a strategy like Flat Rate, Free Shipping (by pricing it in), or Calculated Shipping using the carrier's tools with package weight, dimensions, origin, and destination to get real-time rates.
