Furniture Shipping Cost from San Francisco, California to Austin, Texas

You have a few options for freight shipping your furniture. The cheapest option is less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping, which is when your items share trailer space with other shipments. This might be your best option if you don't have much to move.

Shipping from California to Texas generally takes 2 to 8 days, depending heavily on the carrier (USPS, FedEx, UPS) and service speed; expect 1-3 days for faster options like Priority Mail/Express, 2-5 days for standard Ground Advantage, and 2-8 days for budget services like Media Mail or Ground Economy, with cross-country movers sometimes taking 4-6 days for large shipments.

The average price to move furniture within the U.S. ranges between $300 and $1,000. 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.
