Furniture Shipping Cost from Niamey to Chicago, Illinois

Shipping a 50 lb box typically costs $40 to over $100, varying significantly by carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), distance, speed, and if you use flat-rate options or discounts, with ground services like USPS Ground Advantage and FedEx Ground being cheapest ($40-$70 for ground) and express services much higher. Using a comparison site or flat-rate boxes can help reduce costs.

The cheapest way to ship large packages usually involves comparing USPS Ground Advantage, UPS Ground/Ground Saver, and FedEx Ground, often cheaper through online platforms like Parcel Monkey or ShipStation, ShipStation. For packages under 70 lbs, USPS is often best, while freight shipping (like Less-Than-Truckload) is usually cheapest for extremely heavy or oversized items over 70 lbs. Always compare rates for your specific dimensions and weight using carrier tools or comparison sites, as prices vary significantly.

To ship a single piece of furniture across long distances, choose a parcel carrier like UPS or USPS for small items. For larger pieces, such as beds or sofas, consider a freight service offering LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipping—it's cost-effective, and your furniture will be transported with other loads.
