For short distances, it might be ~$40-$70, while cross-country can reach $75-$130+, plus potential $28+ handling fees from UPS/FedEx for heavy items.

Shipping a 40ft container costs anywhere from a few hundred dollars for local empty moves to over $10,000 for long international routes, with typical international rates for loaded containers ranging from $2,500 to $10,000+, depending heavily on origin, destination, route demand, carrier, and type (standard, high cube, reefer). Expect to pay more for specialized containers (reefer, high cube) and longer, busier trade lanes.
