Shipping furniture is expensive, ranging from $100 to over $1,000+, depending heavily on size, weight, distance, and service, with small items like chairs potentially $50-$200, while large items (couches, dressers) can cost $300-$1,500+ cross-country, often via freight or specialized carriers like uShip or FedEx Freight, with white glove services adding significantly more for delicate or high-value pieces.

Shipping a 50 lb box can cost anywhere from ~$30 to over $100, depending heavily on distance, speed, and carrier, with USPS Ground Advantage and FedEx/UPS Ground offering the cheapest options (around $30-$45 short distances) for slower service, while expedited or longer-distance shipping pushes costs much higher.
