When shipping furniture cross country, many companies will charge you based on weight. This can make for one expensive move! You can avoid those high costs with U-Pack! U-Pack is the best way to ship furniture cross country because U-Pack puts you in control of the cost. Let me explain how U-Pack makes shipping furniture affordable and easy.

Cross Country Furniture Shipping: Weight vs. Space

Like I mentioned above, most companies will charge you based on the weight of your items. You really have no control over your cost this way. Your dining room table weighs 180 pounds no matter what. However, with U-Pack, you pay based on the space you use, not the weight of your items. When you ship furniture with U-Pack, you get either a 28 foot moving trailer or moving container. Then, you fill it with your items, and your shipping rate is based on the space your furniture (and other household goods) takes up. You can control how much space you use by packing efficiently and breaking down furniture for better use of space. With U-Pack, just get a moving quote which includesthe “cost per linear foot.” If you need more space than originally quoted, you just adjust your cost per foot. If you are great at loading your furniture and use less space, you pay less! U-Pack’s rates make it the best way to ship furniture cross country.

How to Ship Furniture Cross Country Easily

U-Pack’s moving solutions make shipping your furniture easy. Here is how U-Pack works:

  • U-Pack brings you a moving trailer or moving container.
  • You load your furniture (and other household goods) inside.
  • U-Pack drives it to your new home (or store your stuff for as long as you need!).
  • You unload.
  • U-Pack picks up the empty equipment.

Easy as that! And if you need help loading or unloading your furniture, U-Pack has access to a nationwide network of moving help, too! Why overcomplicate it? The ease of U-Pack makes it a great furniture shipping solution.
