A floor-standing copier is an odd thing to move. It is too heavy and top-heavy for two people and a pickup truck, too delicate to blanket-wrap and slide into a moving van, and far too small to justify hiring a full truck. That in-between size is exactly the kind of copier shipping job Ship Smart was built for.

Instead of booking copier movers and a dedicated truck, you can ship a copy machine the way we ship everything: professionally packed, then carried as LTL freight on a truck it shares with other shipments. You pay for the packed weight and the space the machine takes up, with no minimum, so one multifunction printer from a closing branch office costs what one machine costs to ship.

Ship Smart has handled small shipments since 1999 and is licensed, bonded and insured (MC-381032, DOT 2226241). Price your copier in the online estimator, or call (866) 333-8018 and tell us the make, model and where it is going.

How Copier Shipping Works With Ship Smart

Copier transport rarely means moving a whole office. It might be a dental practice relocating across state lines, a small business that bought a used production machine from a seller far away, or a company sending one unit from a closed location to the branch that still needs it. The steps are the same in every case. When you compare copier shipping companies, ask whether the price includes packing; ours does.

  • Get a price. Give the estimator or our team the make and model, the approximate weight from the spec sheet, and any add-ons such as a finisher, paper deck or cabinet stand. Phone hours are Monday to Friday 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM Pacific.
  • Book a pickup date. Pickup is scheduled 2 to 10 business days after booking, and we recommend booking at least 10 days ahead if the office move date is fixed.
  • Pickup and packing. Every estimate includes white glove pickup from the first floor of the business or home. Professional packing is included, and custom crating is available for high-value equipment.
  • Delivery. Copier delivery comes in three options: Will-Call (you collect it at the destination terminal, the lowest price), Curbside Delivery (to the nearest accessible point) and Full Service (white glove delivery inside the new office).

Getting a Copier Ready to Ship

Keep the power cord, any keys for the paper drawers and the setup paperwork in a labeled bag that ships with the machine. If the copier stores scanned documents on a hard drive, ask your IT team or dealer to wipe or remove it before it leaves your control.

Professional packing is included, so the copier does not need to be boxed before pickup. If the copier is high-value equipment, ask about custom crating when you book. Call (866) 333-8018 to talk through your make and model before pickup day.

Office Buildings, Docks and Elevators

Every estimate includes white glove pickup from the first floor of the business. If the copier sits on an upper floor, call (866) 333-8018 to check access at your building before you book. Measure doorways on both ends: a machine with a finisher attached can be wider than a standard office door.

What Changes the Price of Shipping a Copier

Weight is the main factor, which is why the model matters. A desktop multifunction printer is light; a floor-standing office copier with a cabinet and finisher can weigh several hundred pounds. Across our published routes, a shipment of around 500 lbs (a few furniture pieces and boxes) runs $600 to $1,650; a copier that needs a crate can cost more, and the estimator gives the exact figure. Distance and the delivery option you pick also move the price. Financing is available through Enhancify.

Basic valuation coverage is included with every shipment, and additional coverage is available for expensive equipment. Ship Smart holds an A+ rating with the BBB and has a damage rate below 2%.

Questions About Shipping Copiers

1. How much does it cost to ship a copier to another state?

Arrow Down

It depends on the packed weight, the distance and the delivery option. Across our published routes, a shipment of around 500 lbs (a few furniture pieces and boxes) runs $600 to $1,650; a copier that needs a crate can cost more. There is no minimum weight, so a lighter printer costs less. The online estimator gives the exact price for your machine and destination.

2. Can you deliver a copier the same day?

Arrow Down

No. Ship Smart is a long-distance shipper, not a local courier, so each copier is picked up on a booked date, usually 2 to 10 business days after booking. Same-week pickup is often possible, though extra fees may apply.

3. Do I need to pack or crate the copier myself?

Arrow Down

No. Professional packing is included with every shipment, and every estimate includes white glove pickup from the first floor of the business or home. Custom crating is available for high-value equipment.

4. Is my copier covered while it ships?

Arrow Down

Basic valuation coverage is included with every shipment, and additional coverage is available for expensive equipment. Ship Smart is licensed, bonded and insured (MC-381032, DOT 2226241).

Movers were in contact within 24 hours to pick up the art piece, was on its way from California to Wisconsin in the next week and arrived when scheduled. I was impressed with the way it was boxed. No chance it would be damaged. Delivery driver took care to remove it from the truck and placed it in my garage where I requested it. Very happy with the whole experience. Thank you to everyone involved.

I was hesitant to hire Ship Smart to move my household goods to Canada as there were some negative comments online. I spoke to the representative about these comments and he explained this happened when people didn't disclose the proper amount of goods originally. I tried to be very accurate with how much I was intending to ship. In the end, I was refunded the amount my estimate was in excess of the actual weight of my contents. I was so surprised to actually get money returned after the contents had been crated and wrapped at the warehouse. I was very impressed with the contact I had with all the individuals I had any interaction with. My move couldn't have been handled any better. Thank you Ship Smart. Great service.

Works well for moving smaller items. Be aware that the original quote is an estimate and that all of your items are weighed then your given your final price based on weight. You can get price per pound from them. Things were packed very well. Movers were great on both sides, no issues

Ship Smart did a fantastic job for us! They shipped a small amount of items when my mom made a 1400 mile move. The person who picked up the items was helpful and quick and careful with all the items. The shipment was delivered as stated. The delivery driver went to extra lengths for drop the shipment off at a convenient location at our house. He was kind and helpful. The whole experience was great. I would use Ship Smart again!

I had to move some beautiful mid-century modern teak furniture from my parent’s home in Jersey to my home in Palm Springs CA. These were exceptional pieces in perfect condition. And they arrived cross country in exactly the same condition. I was so impressed at every level. From start to finish the service was flawless and the furniture arrived quicker than I expected. The cost was very reasonable. I was nervous because some of the pieces were unusually shaped. Absolutely no problems.
