Question 2

Question 3

How much does it cost to ship a car to Columbia?

Accepted Answer

For most cars from the U.S., the cost of hauling to Colombia is $1,700 to $4,100 (this assumes the introductory shipment of a standard vehicle). Most shipments to the area come from a shipping container, so larger vehicles that cannot fit into a container are assessed an additional cost.

Question 4

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 5

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 6

How can I ship a large piece of furniture?

Accepted Answer

Shipping furniture over 150 lbs.
 LTL freight ships palletized products or packages that are too heavy for overnight or standard ground shipping. LTL is for shipments that only use part of the trailer space, so it's an economical option for shipping heavy furniture to another state or to Canada or Mexico.

Freight shipping refrigerators is usually done via LTL freight. But if you are shipping a lot of refrigerators, you may need a full truckload. Whichever type of shipping you need, FreightCenter can handle it for you.
