Question 1

How expensive is it to ship a piece of furniture?

Accepted Answer

Shipping furniture is expensive, typically costing $300 to over $1,000 for cross-country moves, varying greatly by size, weight, distance, and service, with small items like chairs sometimes costing $50-$200 via parcel, while large sofas can be $300-$1,500+ using LTL freight or specialized movers. Expect higher prices for long distances, heavy items, and white-glove services, but save money with disassembly or freight consolidation.

Question 2

What is the cheapest way to ship furniture to another state?

Accepted Answer

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Freight
 The carrier picks up your crated or palletized furniture and delivers it alongside other loads. While LTL shipments may make multiple stops and transfers, it's one of the cheapest methods overall for medium-sized loads.

Question 3

How do I ship one piece of furniture long distance?

Accepted Answer

To ship a single piece of furniture across long distances, choose a parcel carrier like UPS or USPS for small items. For larger pieces, such as beds or sofas, consider a freight service offering LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipping—it's cost-effective, and your furniture will be transported with other loads.

Question 4

How much does it cost to ship an appliance?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

Is a piano dolly better than hiring movers?

Accepted Answer

Lifting such a monstrous piece of equipment is back-breaking work, even if you're only lifting it onto a dolly.

Next time, err on the side of caution: let professionals handle the heavy lifting instead.
