Furniture Shipping Cost from Cairo to Cicero, Illinois

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.

Shipping a sectional couch typically costs $300 to $1,500+, depending heavily on distance (local is cheaper, cross-country is pricier), size, weight, and service type, ranging from basic freight ($300-$800) to premium white-glove delivery, with specialized carriers like uShip or FreightCenter offering quotes for long hauls. Factors like residential delivery and liftgate service add $75-$100+ each, while breaking it into boxes (like on a pallet) can sometimes be more cost-effective than moving it as one bulky item.
