Furniture Shipping Cost from Idaho 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 to another state usually involves LTL freight for large items or portable moving containers/self-moving services (like U-Pack) for smaller moves, allowing you to pay for space used rather than weight, while renting a U-Haul truck offers control for DIY moves, and for very small items, bus freight or standard carriers (UPS/FedEx) might work if they fit size/weight limits. The best option depends on how much furniture you have and how much effort you're willing to put in.

USPS Flat-Rate & Ground Shipping For a few lightweight or moderate-weight boxes, the United States Postal Service (USPS) is often the most budget-friendly shipping option. Their flat-rate shipping prices start at $9.35, and you don't need to weigh shipments under 70 pounds.
