Furniture Shipping Cost from Port St. Lucie, Florida to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The best way to ship furniture involves thorough preparation—disassembling, protecting with padding (bubble wrap, blankets, corner guards), and boxing/crating—then choosing a carrier (UPS/FedEx for smaller pieces, LTL freight for large/heavy items) or specialized service, using freight aggregators for quotes, and insuring the shipment for safe, cost-effective delivery.

If you're only moving a short distance, you'll likely pay between $300 and $800 per piece of furniture, while long-distance moving costs can range from $475 to $1,600 per item.

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.
