Furniture Shipping Cost from Djibouti to San Antonio, Texas

Shipping a 50 lb box typically costs $40 to $80+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed, and if you use your own box or flat-rate options, with USPS often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive for longer hauls, though expect added handling fees for over 50 lbs. Expect around $38-$65 (USPS Ground), $42-$72 (UPS Ground), or $41-$70 (FedEx Ground) for typical cross-country routes, plus potential surcharges.

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 ship bulky items involves comparing ground services like FedEx Ground and UPS Ground for heavier packages (over 2 lbs), using USPS Ground Advantage for lighter items or specific dense/heavy items fitting Flat Rate boxes, and utilizing online platforms like Pirate Ship for discounts, while always right-sizing packaging and considering freight for very large/heavy pallets.
