Appliances Shipping Cost from Norfolk, Virginia to Dallas, Texas

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 a package in the USA is usually USPS Ground Advantage for most items up to 70 lbs, especially if you ship online for discounted commercial rates; for very light items (<16oz), First-Class Mail is cheapest, while Media Mail is best for books/media; for heavier packages (over ~2 lbs) or specific needs, UPS Ground or FedEx Ground often become competitive or cheaper, particularly for cross-country. Always compare options using your package's weight, size, and destination on carrier sites or comparison tools.

Shipping a 20 lb package costs roughly $20-$40 for ground services (UPS, FedEx, USPS Ground Advantage) for shorter distances, but can range from $13 to over $100+ for faster or international options, depending heavily on the carrier, speed, and distance (zone). USPS Ground Advantage is often economical, while faster FedEx/UPS options like Next Day Air become much pricier, and sometimes splitting into lighter boxes (under 20 lbs) can be cheaper with USPS.
