Furniture Shipping Cost from St. Louis, Missouri to Cotonou

Cost Range: $200-$800 for most furniture pieces, depending on size, weight, and distance. A typical couch might cost $300-$500 to ship from coast to coast, while a dining room set could range from $400-$700. Key Advantages: Significantly cheaper than full truckload shipping.

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.

The cheapest shipping company depends on your package, but USPS is usually cheapest for small, light items (under 1lb) with services like Ground Advantage or Flat Rate, while UPS & FedEx often beat USPS for heavier packages (over 5lbs), especially with commercial discounts, though they add surcharges. For best rates, use platforms like ShipStation or Pirate Ship to compare real-time prices across carriers, as they offer commercial discounts that beat retail rates.
