Appliances Shipping Cost from Riverside, California to Saint Petersburg

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.

Outer Packaging: Place the appliance in a sturdy cardboard box slightly larger than the appliance itself. Palletization: Place the boxed appliance on a pallet that fits the dimensions without any overhang on any side.

Shipping a 300 lb package costs anywhere from under $100 to over $2,000+, depending heavily on distance, speed, carrier, and if it's freight; expect $100-$700+ for ground (UPS/FedEx) over shorter distances and $500-$2,000+ for longer distances or faster services, with freight or palletized options often cheaper than single-parcel carriers for such heavy items. Use comparison sites like Parcel Monkey or TSI Shipping, and consider freight or freight brokers for the best rates.
