Furniture Shipping Cost from Dublin to Houston, Texas

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.

Shipping from Ireland to the USA takes 1-3 business days for express couriers (FedEx, UPS), 3-6 days for standard/economy services, while air freight is 2-8 days, and sea freight can take 15-50 days, with customs clearance adding variability, especially for larger shipments or if held for inspection.

Cost of Shipping Furniture Across Country On average, a single large item, like a couch or dresser, costs between $300 and $1,500 to ship cross-country. A queen mattress is usually $300–$600, while a large sectional sofa can run closer to $800–$1,500. The wide range makes sense once you see what goes into the cost.
