About

Ship It For Less is an independent guide for anyone who needs to move something too big, too heavy or too fragile for a regular box. Couches, appliances, gym equipment, motorcycles, pallets of inventory, family antiques: they all need a different approach, and the freight world has its own language that can make getting started confusing.

What we cover

  • Freight and large items: LTL freight, freight classes, quotes, bills of lading and accessorial charges.
  • Furniture and appliances: how to prepare, pack and ship household items safely.
  • Vehicles and equipment: motorcycles, golf carts, trailers and machinery.
  • Antiques and fragile: crating, archival packing and choosing the right specialist.
  • Moving and relocation: deciding what to ship, what to sell and how to plan it.

We explain how pricing works and what to ask before you book, rather than quoting rates that change. Have a big-item shipping question? Send it our way.
