Shipping Cost from San Diego, California to Kenosha, Wisconsin

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.

The cheapest way to ship furniture to another state usually involves LTL freight for large items or portable moving containers/self-moving services (like U-Pack) for smaller moves, allowing you to pay for space used rather than weight, while renting a U-Haul truck offers control for DIY moves, and for very small items, bus freight or standard carriers (UPS/FedEx) might work if they fit size/weight limits. The best option depends on how much furniture you have and how much effort you're willing to put in.

Cost of Shipping Furniture Across Country On average, a single large item, like a couch or dresser, costs between $300 and $1,500 to ship cross-country. A queen mattress is usually $300–$600, while a large sectional sofa can run closer to $800–$1,500. The wide range makes sense once you see what goes into the cost.
