Shipping Cost from Chicago, Illinois to Sofia

The average cost of an international move — including expenses like shipping and moving services — can range from about $3,000 to $18,000 or more. However, smaller moves over shorter distances may cost less, while larger, longer-distance moves may cost more.

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.

Shipping a 50 lb box typically costs $40 to over $100, depending heavily on distance, speed, and carrier, with FedEx Ground/Home Delivery and UPS Ground often cheapest (around $40-$80) for shorter distances, while USPS Ground Advantage is a good budget option (often $50-$130) but slower, and faster services like FedEx Express or UPS Next Day can exceed $100-$200+. For the best price, compare rates on carrier sites (USPS, FedEx, UPS) or through comparison tools, focusing on Ground services for savings.
