To ship one piece of furniture across the country, prepare it by disassembling and wrapping it securely, then choose between LTL Freight (cost-effective for bulky items sharing a truck), specialized carriers like The UPS Store/FedEx (great for smaller or packed items), or courier services (like Greyhound for budget options), comparing quotes for the best balance of cost, speed, and protection, often involving a broker like uShip or FreightCenter for LTL.
