Furniture Shipping Cost from Tampa, Florida to San Diego, California

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 Florida to California takes 2 to 7 business days for standard ground services (like UPS Ground, FedEx Ground, USPS Ground Advantage), but can be as fast as 1-2 days with premium air options (FedEx Express, UPS Next Day/2-Day ) or over a week for very slow/budget options, depending on the carrier, specific locations, and service chosen.

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.
