Furniture Shipping Cost from Santa Clarita, California to Houston, 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.

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.
