Furniture Shipping Cost from Marseille to San Jose

The cheapest way to ship furniture usually involves using Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight, sharing truck space for non-full truckloads, or exploring bus freight (like Greyhound) for cost savings if it fits rules, but the absolute cheapest often means DIY methods like renting a truck or using ride-share movers (Dolly, GoShare) for local moves, or leveraging marketplaces like Shiply/uShip for competitive LTL quotes. Key cost savers include disassembling furniture, packing it yourself, and choosing slower delivery times.

Shipping a 20 lb package generally costs $20-$40 for ground services (like USPS Ground Advantage or UPS Ground) over short distances, but prices vary widely from $13 for discounted ground to over $100 for overnight express, depending on the carrier, distance, speed, and whether you use retail or discounted rates. USPS Ground Advantage and UPS Ground are usually the cheapest options for this weight, while faster options like UPS Next Day Air or FedEx Priority Overnight are significantly more expensive.

The cheapest way to ship internationally from the USA is usually USPS First-Class Package International Service for small, light items (under 4 lbs). For heavier packages, consider USPS Parcel Select Worldwide, or use shipping platforms like ShipStation / Easyship for discounts on DHL, FedEx, or UPS economy services, which offer better rates than retail. Sea freight is cheapest for very large/heavy items but is very slow.
