Cheapest Way to Ship Furniture to Another State
The cheapest way to ship furniture to another state is a do-it-yourself move by van or small truck you either own or can borrow. But when that is not an option, there are several economical ways to get a small amount of furniture (such as pieces for a college dorm room, the bare necessities for an apartment or furniture inherited from relatives in another state) from one state to another. Does this Spark an idea?
Shipping Quotes
Get quotes for your small shipment and choose the cheapest, but don't waste time hopping from one shipment company to another when you can get as much information as you may need from a single source for furniture ranging from 100 to 20,000 lbs. The website FreightCenter offers a free-of-charge service for calculating the size of your shipment at no cost to you and providing quotes from a variety of shipping companies that specialize in LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) shipping. With those quotes in hand, you'll be able choose the one that best meets your budget and then book your shipment online at your convenience, around the clock
Even if you choose another shipping option, you'll find valuable information at FreightCenter's "Shipping Furniture" link about the best way to pack your furniture for shipment that will get it to its destination in the best possible condition.
Conventional Moving Companies
Call local conventional moving companies and enquire about "space available" shipping. It is quite possible a larger shipment of household goods is going to be passing through your item's destination or very near. If that truck is not quite full and your items will complete the load, you may find this is quite affordable.
Personal Recommendations
Ask for personal recommendations from people you know have successfully managed smaller shipments of furniture, such as the parents of college students who've shipped cross-country or someone who has helped their parents ship a minimal amount to a retirement home. If you are not getting the answers you need from your acquaintances, College Confidential and Berkley Parents have online discussion boards that address this topic.
