Furniture Shipping Cost from Bentonville, Arkansas to Shanghai

Check with a local pro for your specific job. The cost to move furniture depends on the type and weight of your belongings, the distance you're moving, and the shipment method you choose. Local shipping costs between $300 and $800 per piece, while international rates range from $1,000 to $4,500 per item.

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.

The cheapest way to move furniture across the country usually involves a DIY truck rental, where you drive yourself, or using a freight trailer/container where you load, and a company drives, paying only for space used (like U-Pack ), with DIY truck rentals being slightly cheaper for driving yourself vs. freight being better for not driving, while also selling bulky items and using free packing supplies saves significantly.
