Furniture Shipping Cost from San Jose, California to Irving, Texas

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 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.

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.
