Question 1

How much to ship a car from NY to NC?

Accepted Answer

Most New York to North Carolina shipments run $650–$1,050 for a standard sedan using open carriers. Pricing changes with pickup city, vehicle size, seasonal demand, and whether delivery is door-to-door.

Question 2

Is it cheaper to drive or ship a car?

Accepted Answer

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances (under 500 miles), but for long cross-country moves (over 1,000 miles), shipping can become comparable or even cheaper when factoring in gas, food, lodging, and wear-and-tear on your vehicle, making driving better for short trips and shipping often better for long, busy, or difficult trips. The decision balances cost, time, and convenience, as shipping saves you time and adds miles/wear, while driving costs less upfront but adds stress and expenses.

Question 3

Is it cheaper to ship a car by train or truck?

Accepted Answer

Shipping a car by train is generally cheaper, especially for long distances (500+ miles), because trains move large volumes more efficiently, lowering the cost per ton-mile compared to trucks. While trucks offer more flexibility and speed, rail is often significantly more affordable and eco-friendly, making it ideal for budget-conscious, long-haul moves on major routes, though it involves less convenient pickup points and slower transit.

Question 4

Is it worth it to ship furniture?

Accepted Answer

Shipping furniture is worth it for high-value, antique, custom, or deeply sentimental pieces, but often not for cheap, particleboard items, where buying new locally is usually cheaper and easier. The decision hinges on comparing shipping costs (which can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars) against the item's replacement cost, plus factoring in convenience, damage risk, and your new space's needs.

Question 5

How expensive is it to ship a piece of furniture?

Accepted Answer

Shipping furniture is expensive, typically costing $300 to over $1,000 for cross-country moves, varying greatly by size, weight, distance, and service, with small items like chairs sometimes costing $50-$200 via parcel, while large sofas can be $300-$1,500+ using LTL freight or specialized movers. Expect higher prices for long distances, heavy items, and white-glove services, but save money with disassembly or freight consolidation.

Question 6

What is the cheapest way to ship furniture to another state?

Accepted Answer

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Freight
 The carrier picks up your crated or palletized furniture and delivers it alongside other loads. While LTL shipments may make multiple stops and transfers, it's one of the cheapest methods overall for medium-sized loads.

Question 7

How much does it cost to ship an appliance?

Accepted Answer

In general, for an appliance shipping service, you can expect to pay around $1.81 per mile for shorter trips and $0.59 per mile for longer journeys.

Question 8

How much does it cost to move from New York to North Carolina?

Accepted Answer

Question 9

How to ship large appliances?

Outer Packaging: Place the appliance in a sturdy cardboard box slightly larger than the appliance itself. Palletization: Place the boxed appliance on a pallet that fits the dimensions without any overhang on any side.

Question 10

How much on average does it cost to move a piano?

Accepted Answer

Moving a piano costs roughly $150-$650 locally and $500-$2,500+ for long distances, depending heavily on the piano's type (grand is more), weight, distance, and obstacles like stairs, which add significant fees. Expect to pay more for larger pianos (concert grands) and complex moves involving many steps or tight spaces, potentially increasing costs to several thousand dollars, while simple upright moves are at the lower end.

Question 11

How much does it cost to move from New York to North Carolina?

Accepted Answer

On average, moving costs from New York to North Carolina range between $2,500 and $7,000.

Question 12

How to move a piano cheaply?

Accepted Answer

Call your local piano store and see who they recommend to move it, as their piano mover may be cheaper than the house movers. I actually found this to be true when I moved my piano. Also, check with your local thrift stores that deal with large furniture, such as the Restore.

Question 13

Is it cheaper to hire a moving company or use pods?

Accepted Answer

Generally, using a PODS-type container is cheaper than a full-service moving company because you do the loading/unloading, saving on labor costs, especially for long-distance moves where they typically cost less than professionals. However, for local moves or if you value convenience, a professional mover might be comparable or even better, as they handle everything, while a POD might become expensive with extra labor costs or if you need them for long-term storage.

Question 14

How much does it cost to pack and move a 2000 sq ft house?

Accepted Answer

Moving a 2,000 sq. ft. house costs roughly $1,000–$3,000 for local moves and $3,000–$8,000+ for long-distance moves, but can easily reach $10,000–$20,000 with full-service packing and long distances, varying significantly with distance, weight, packing needs, and labor. Packing services add $1,000-$2,000, while DIY with truck rental costs less, with total costs depending heavily on your specific move.

Question 15

How much will it cost to ship my mattress?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest way to ship a mattress is UPS Ground, which costs ~$130 for short distances (~130 miles) and ~$210 for cross-country shipping. The fastest way to ship a mattress is UPS Next Day Air Early or FedEx First Overnight, with delivery by the next morning for $392-1,520 depending on distance.

Question 16

How can I ship a mattress cheaply?

Accepted Answer

As we can see, the cheapest way to ship a mattress is with USPS Retail Ground. This service costs $150.35 and takes 2 to 9 business days. However, if you need expedited shipping service, Priority Mail Express 1-Day can deliver your parcel in no time.

Question 17

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Freight
