Furniture Shipping Cost from Grand Rapids, Michigan to Houston, Texas

Cost Range: $200-$800 for most furniture pieces, depending on size, weight, and distance. A typical couch might cost $300-$500 to ship from coast to coast, while a dining room set could range from $400-$700.

The cheapest way to ship furniture out of state usually involves LTL Freight (Less-Than-Truckload) for bulky items, using portable moving containers (like U-Pack ReloCubes) for room-sized moves, or considering DIY truck rentals; parcel services work for smaller items, while bus freight (Greyhound) is an option but requires careful packing and adherence to size limits. For maximum savings, compare LTL quotes on platforms like uShip, use U-Pack for containerized options, or weigh the cost of selling/buying new vs. moving.
