Appliances Shipping Cost from Houston, Texas to Boise City, Idaho

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.

The cheapest way to ship 50 lbs usually involves FedEx Ground or UPS Ground for long distances or a large, bulky box, but USPS Ground Advantage is often best for shorter distances or if it fits in a large Flat Rate box. Using online discount platforms like Pirate Ship, Easyship, or Parcel Monkey can unlock significant savings over retail rates, especially for FedEx/UPS.

To calculate shipping costs, you need package weight, dimensions, origin, destination, and speed, then use carrier tools (USPS, UPS) to get rates, adding packaging materials and labor for total costs, or use simple strategies like flat-rate or "free shipping" by embedding costs into product prices.
