Furniture Shipping Cost from Santa Ana, California to Nairobi

Shipping furniture over 150 lbs. LTL freight ships palletized products or packages that are too heavy for overnight or standard ground shipping. LTL is for shipments that only use part of the trailer space, so it's an economical option for shipping heavy furniture to another state or to Canada or Mexico.

Shipping a 50 lb box typically costs $40 to $130+ for ground services, with FedEx and UPS Ground often being cheaper than USPS Ground Advantage, though costs vary significantly based on distance (zone), speed, and if you use discounted rates through third-party platforms. For short distances, expect lower costs (around $40-$80), while cross-country shipments will be higher.

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.
