Mattress Shipping Cost from Vermont to Phoenix, Arizona

To ship a mattress out of state, package it in a heavy-duty mattress bag, use a specialized box or wrap, compress it with a vacuum bag if possible, and ship via freight, specialized furniture shippers (like uShip, Shiply), or standard carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx), though expect high costs and compare quotes for the best price/service. Consider if selling/replacing might be cheaper than shipping, especially for older mattresses.

The cheapest way to move furniture across the country usually involves a DIY truck rental, where you drive yourself, or using a freight trailer/container where you load, and a company drives, paying only for space used (like U-Pack ), with DIY truck rentals being slightly cheaper for driving yourself vs. freight being better for not driving, while also selling bulky items and using free packing supplies saves significantly.

The average price to move furniture within the U.S. ranges between $300 and $1,000. If you're only moving a short distance, you'll likely pay between $300 and $800 per piece of furniture, while long-distance moving costs can range from $475 to $1,600 per item.
