Furniture Shipping Cost from Ohio to Los Angeles, California

Check with a local pro for your specific job. The cost to move furniture depends on the type and weight of your belongings, the distance you're moving, and the shipment method you choose. Local shipping costs between $300 and $800 per piece, while international rates range from $1,000 to $4,500 per item.

Shipping from Ohio to California typically takes 3 to 5 business days for standard ground services (UPS, FedEx, USPS), depending on the carrier, specific locations, and service level, with faster options available (like 2-3 day Priority Mail or express services) and freight often taking 3-4 days for LTL. The exact time depends on your chosen carrier, service (ground vs. express), package size/weight, and origin/destination zip codes.

The cheapest way to ship a piece of furniture is typically to use parcel services for smaller items and consider a freight shipping service like LTL for oversized items. If you're making a one-time shipment in your local market, consider renting a moving van and transporting the furniture yourself.
