Furniture Shipping Cost from Honolulu, Hawaii to Chicago, Illinois

Shipping furniture is expensive, typically costing $300 to over $1,000 for cross-country moves, varying greatly by size, weight, distance, and service, with small items like chairs sometimes costing $50-$200 via parcel, while large sofas can be $300-$1,500+ using LTL freight or specialized movers. Expect higher prices for long distances, heavy items, and white-glove services, but save money with disassembly or freight consolidation.

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Freight The carrier picks up your crated or palletized furniture and delivers it alongside other loads. While LTL shipments may make multiple stops and transfers, it's one of the cheapest methods overall for medium-sized loads.

USPS Retail Ground, formerly called Parcel Post is by far the cheapest way. You will pass out if you get a quote from UPS or FedEx. You have to take your boxes to the PO counter to buy Retail Ground, can't buy the postage online, that's the only downside.
