Shipping Cost from San Jose, California to Arvada, Colorado

Check with a local pro for your specific job. The cost to move furniture depends on the type and weight of your belongings, the distance you're moving, and the shipment method you choose. Local shipping costs between $300 and $800 per piece, while international rates range from $1,000 to $4,500 per item.

Shipping from Colorado to California typically takes 1 to 5 business days, depending on the carrier and service, with faster options like USPS Priority Mail (2-3 days) or FedEx 2Day (2 days) being quicker, while standard ground or budget services (USPS Ground Advantage, FedEx Ground) generally fall in the 2-5 day range. Expect 3-5 days for regular coast-to-coast mail, but express services can cut that down to overnight or next-day delivery in some cases.

The cheapest way to ship furniture often involves Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight for larger items or sharing space, using bus freight for distance savings if it fits rules, or trying ride-share apps (Dolly, GoShare) for local moves ; for very tight budgets, DIY with a rental truck/U-Haul, or even selling & repurchasing might beat shipping costs. Proper packaging with cardboard, moving blankets, and corner protectors is crucial to avoid damage, which drastically increases costs.
