Question 1

How expensive is it to ship a piece of furniture?

Accepted Answer

Shipping furniture can range from $50 for small items via parcel to over $1,000 for large items or long distances, with typical costs for a single piece falling between $200 and $800, depending heavily on size, weight, distance (local vs. cross-country), and service (standard freight vs. white glove). A couch might cost $300-$500, while a bedroom set can be $800-$3,000, with factors like packing, speed, and if you use LTL freight or consolidate shipments significantly impacting the final price.

Question 2

What is the most economical way to ship furniture?

Accepted Answer

LTL (Less Than Truckload) Freight Shipping. LTL freight shipping represents one of the most cost-effective methods for shipping large furniture items across country. This service consolidates shipments from multiple customers in a single truck, allowing you to pay only for the space your furniture occupies.

Question 3

How much does a 50 lb package cost to ship?

Accepted Answer

Shipping a 50-pound box typically costs between $40 and $130+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (FedEx Ground, UPS Ground, or USPS Ground Advantage are common choices), and any discounts, with FedEx often slightly cheaper for heavy items, while USPS can be good for shorter distances. For faster options, expect costs to jump significantly to over $100, sometimes much more.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Can I ship something from Mexico to the US?

Accepted Answer

Question 7

How much does it cost to have movers move a piano?

Accepted Answer

Piano mover costs typically range from $200-$400 for a simple local upright move to $1,000-$2,000 for long-distance or grand pianos, with potential extra fees for stairs, elevators, or disassembly adding $5-$10 per step or $100-$200 for complex jobs, depending on the piano's size, distance, and logistical challenges like stairs or narrow hallways.

Question 8

Is a piano dolly better than hiring movers?

Accepted Answer

A piano dolly helps with short, flat moves but hiring professional piano movers is almost always better for safety, preventing costly damage (like a cracked soundboard or ruined floors), and handling stairs/tight spots, as they have specialized equipment, experience, and insurance for these heavy, delicate instruments. While a dolly saves money upfront, the risk of injury or significant repair costs usually outweighs the cost of professionals, especially for valuable or grand pianos.

Question 9

How to transport a piano long distance?

Accepted Answer

Wrap the Piano in Blankets. Make sure that every part of the piano is wrapped and there are no parts that are exposed. Secure the Piano to the Side of the Truck. Don't let the piano slide around the truck. Secure it to the side of the truck using straps or another method that will ensure it doesn't move.

Question 10

How to transport gym machines?

Accepted Answer

Secure Equipment in Transit. Once your home gym equipment is packed, ensure it's securely fastened in the moving vehicle. Use straps, bungee cords, or tie-downs to prevent shifting or damage during transit, and avoid stacking heavy items on top of each other to prevent crushing or imbalance.

Question 11

Who is the best out-of-state moving company?

Accepted Answer

Top interstate moving companies often include Allied Van Lines, United Van Lines, Mayflower, North American Van Lines, and JK Moving, with specific strengths like Allied for overall service, Mayflower for full-service, United for no deposits, and JK for overall value; however, American Van Lines, International Van Lines, and self-service options like U-Pack are also highly rated for value, flat rates, or specific needs, so always compare quotes and check reviews for your unique move.
