Furniture Shipping Cost from Panama City to San Diego, 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 a 50 lb box typically costs $40 to $80+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed, and if you use your own box or flat-rate options, with USPS often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive for longer hauls, though expect added handling fees for over 50 lbs. Expect around $38-$65 (USPS Ground), $42-$72 (UPS Ground), or $41-$70 (FedEx Ground) for typical cross-country routes, plus potential surcharges.

The cheapest way to ship bulky items involves using ground services like FedEx Ground or UPS Ground for heavier items (over ~20lbs), utilizing USPS Ground Advantage for lighter, large packages to save on dimensional weight, and always optimizing your box size to the smallest possible to reduce DIM pricing. For very large/heavy freight, FedEx Freight or specialized services are best, while third-party platforms like Pirate Ship offer discounted rates.
