Furniture Shipping Cost from Kolkata to San Jose, California

Shipping furniture costs vary widely, from $50-$200 for small items via parcel, to $300-$600+ for large items across the country, with specialty "white glove" services costing more, all depending on size, weight, distance, and service level. Local moves are cheaper ($75-$250), while coast-to-coast or international shipments for large pieces can hit $1,500 or more, often using LTL freight or specialized movers.

Air freight delivers in ~7–14 days but at a high per‑kg cost. Sea freight (FCL/LCL) is cheaper for bulky loads but takes ~25–45 days. For small parcels, economy courier (India Post, Aramex) takes ~5–10 business days.

You have a few options for freight shipping your furniture. The cheapest option is less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping, which is when your items share trailer space with other shipments. This might be your best option if you don't have much to move.
