Furniture Shipping Cost from Phoenix, Arizona to High Point, North Carolina

Cost of Shipping Furniture Across Country On average, a single large item, like a couch or dresser, costs between $300 and $1,500 to ship cross-country. A queen mattress is usually $300–$600, while a large sectional sofa can run closer to $800–$1,500. The wide range makes sense once you see what goes into the cost.

Shipping a 50 lb package with UPS typically costs $30-$60 for Ground (short distance), but can range from $50-$100+ depending heavily on distance (zones), speed (air services cost much more), packaging, and any applicable surcharges like residential delivery or fuel, with faster services like 2nd Day Air potentially costing $200-$500; use the UPS Calculator for an exact quote.

The cheapest way to ship a 20 lb package usually involves comparing USPS Ground Advantage, UPS Ground, and FedEx Ground, as rates are competitive and depend on destination (zone), exact dimensions, and if you get discounted online labels. USPS is often cheapest for slower, non-urgent delivery, while UPS or FedEx might win with discounted rates for heavier items when bought online. Always compare using online calculators, especially considering dimensional weight for larger boxes.
