Personalized Cross Country Shipping Services

There are many ways to ship items to a different state. The best method will depend on what you’re shipping and how much you have to ship. For smaller parcels, post and parcel shipping services are often the most cost effective. For large or heavy items such as large boxes or furniture, freight shipping is often your best choice. 

With our vast network of shipping partners, TSI’s interstate shipping specialists have the experience needed to get your items to their final destination as easily as possible, even if they’re across the country.

The easiest way to ship large or heavy items to Canada is to work with a professional freight shipping company like TSI. For smaller items and parcels, USPS and parcel shipping will be the fastest and most cost-effective shipping method.

The correct packing method depends on the item you’re shipping. For detailed packing instructions for some of the most commonly shipped items, read our “How Do I Ship That?” guides.

If you’re shipping boxed items using our economy service, you’ll pack your items yourself and help with curbside pickup and delivery. Our white glove shipping option is best for those who are unable to pack their items or who are shipping furniture, artwork, or antiques. Our shipping specialists will come into your home to pack your items so you can rest assured they’ll be safe throughout their journey.

The cheapest way to ship items to a different state depends on the item(s) you’re shipping and how far they have to travel. Unless you are shipping your items using USPS Flat Rate services, the cost of your shipment will depend on the size and weight of your shipment, as well as the speed and distance of travel. 

If you’re shipping large or heavy boxes or household items like furniture, the cheapest shipping method is often consolidated freight. TSI’s nationwide network of movers enables our logistics specialists to negotiate prices and volume discounts so you can get the best possible quote for your interstate or cross country shipment. 

Some shipping companies will offer you a low rate then surprise you with hidden fees like mileage or loading costs. There are no hidden fees when shipping with TSI—as long as you provide accurate size and weight dimensions, your quote will match the price you pay.

The best way to ship fragile items to another state depends on the size, weight, and value of the item being shipped. Single small items are best shipped using post or parcel shipping services, but for large or heavy shipments like boxed goods, artwork, antiques, or estate distributions, interstate freight shipping is your best option. 

TSI’s white glove shipping service removes the stress of packing and transporting your fragile and valuable items across states. This service comes with free in-home delivery, along with the preparation of your goods for transport.
