Furniture Shipping Cost from Cleveland, Ohio to Milan

Shipping a 50 lb box typically costs $40 to $130+ for ground services, with FedEx and UPS Ground often being cheaper than USPS Ground Advantage, though costs vary significantly based on distance (zone), speed, and if you use discounted rates through third-party platforms. For short distances, expect lower costs (around $40-$80), while cross-country shipments will be higher.

Shipping furniture over 150 lbs. LTL freight ships palletized products or packages that are too heavy for overnight or standard ground shipping. LTL is for shipments that only use part of the trailer space, so it's an economical option for shipping heavy furniture to another state or to Canada or Mexico.

There are two main options for getting these items to your new home: air freight or sea freight. Air freight offers a quick service – cargo planes can reach Italy from almost anywhere in the world in just 2-3 days. However, air freight is also very expensive, so it isn't ideal for people who are moving on a budget.
