Furniture Shipping Cost from Santa Ana, California to Chicago, Illinois

Shipping furniture is expensive, typically costing $300 to $1,500+ for long distances, depending heavily on size, weight, distance, and service, with small items starting around $50-$200 via parcel and large items like sofas often costing $300-$800+ via freight or specialized services, and even more for high-value or fragile pieces. Factors like disassembly, packing, carrier choice (freight vs. peer-to-peer), and demand significantly impact the final price.

It usually takes a First Class letter only one or two days to get from Chicago to California if the city in California is a larger city. It can take longer if it is small or out of the way.

LTL freight shipping LTL stands for "less than truckload." LTL furniture shipping is a cost-effective way to ship freight items that don't require a full truckload. It's suitable for transporting furniture that is too large for parcel carriers like UPS and FedEx but doesn't require the space of a full truck.
