I Used this company to move a large piece of heirloom furniture (China cabinet) from Virginia to Colorado. The whole experience was easy. Went online, requested a quote, spoke with a rep to solidify some Details, and pick up date. The contracted comapny went to the location, wrapped the furniture then further packaged it at their warehouse. They then shipped to the end location. They let me know the fine Details for clarification. They dropped off my piece without incident. Additionally, at the time of service, this company was easily a few hundred less then other companies I inquired with for the same service.TRG BeansTRG Beans ★★★★★ I did a lot of research before I shipped an antique trunk halfway across the country. It came down to two companies, Ship Smart and a competitor of theirs. I ultimately decided to go with Ship Smart and was not disappointed. They offered a better price, had excellent customer service, and kept me apprised of the status of my shipment throughout the process. The trunk arrived in perfect condition! I highly recommend Ship Smart if you’re looking to ship value items.Susan TannerSusan Tanner ★★★★★ I was 100% satisfied with the entire process. From pick up to delivery it was a very professional job well done! Thank you again for your services.Michele SammartinoMichele Sammartino ★★★★★ Ship Smart are very efficient and have great customer service. I was doing a move from a small town on an island to a large city with 1200 miles between the two. They coordinated with me about a good time to pick up the packages, which they loaded entirely by themselves, and then kept me up to date each step of the way. I knew roughly what I was going to pay based on my own estimate of boxes and weight. Everything was exactly as I had packed it.TedTed ★★★★★ Mary M SchulerMary M Schuler ★★★★★ 5 stars definitely! Everything was carefully wrapped and packed and arrived safely. Delivery time was better than expected! This couldn't have gone any smoother!Stephanie CarangieStephanie Carangie ★★★★★ From Charlotte,NC to Palm Springs, CA. Driver was professional and personable. At pick-up he gave an estimated arrival date-range. He arrived CA on the very first day of the range. We shared a few laughs and I drove away. Wonderful experience!Anthony 'Tony' NicastroAnthony 'Tony' Nicastro ★★★★★ Shipsmart made unloading a variety of households goods on my son easy. The Packers came on time, were polite and careful. after the items left, shipsMart kept me informed about where they were and when they would be delivered and they were delivered on a pallet as promised and everything was intact, I could not ask for a better serviceJulia AzraelJulia Azrael ★★★★★ Shipped items once belonged to my Beloved Sister from her home in MI. This company was Top Notch. EVERYTHING was in tack, nothing missing or Broken💯🍾A JabthedA Jabthed ★★★★★ Ricqui RicquinRicqui Ricquin ★★★★★ I highly recommend using ShipSmart for your future moving needs. Having moved crossed country for the first time, ShipSmart was accommodating and responsive to our (many) questions and estimate updates as our move date neared. ShipSmart was unique compared to other moving companies, as they did not lock us into a minimum or maximum moving estimate, but remained flexible, waiting until after our shipment was picked up and on its way before giving us the grand total. They were able to provide immediate location updates once our shipment was on its way, and worked with reputable and professional local moving companies on both ends of our move (Washington, DC to Seattle). All of our shipment arrived without damage, and they wrapped and unwrapped all of our furniture for extra protection. Great group to work with, during what can be a very stressful time!Kelsey SymsKelsey Syms ★★★★★ I had to move from Boston to Rochester, MN and didn't have a lot of stuff to move and wouldn't have bothered with the profane price estimates I was getting from MayFlower etc. ShipSmart gave me what I needed: an affordable alternative for someone who can wait a bit for a limited number of items to be transported. They were shockingly fast about it, but the shipment speed can vary a lot.The crew that came by to pack up my stuff and load it were hard-working, professional, and fast. I boxed up or otherwise wrapped most of my stuff but I worried that I hadn't been complete enough, but that didn't seem to concern them. They just got the job done. They were also highly punctual.The wrapping and packing was no joke either. If anything they over did it. The truck driver didn't understand what the wooden pole with a rubberized end was doing in one of my two wrapped pellet-piles but I quickly found out you need it to disassemble their wrap and pack job. Be forewarned it costs extra to have them bring your things in to your new place. I did it myself and saved a bunch of money.Can't recommend them enough, but you will have to wait a bit for your things to arrive. Probably longer than I did.Aaron HawkesAaron Hawkes ★★★★★ I had to move from Boston to Rochester, MN and didn't have a lot of stuff to move and wouldn't have bothered with the profane price estimates I was getting from MayFlower etc. ShipSmart gave me what I needed: an affordable alternative for someone who can wait a bit for a limited number of items to be transported.

Thank you for actually reaching out to actually resolve issues. I’ve had a true change of heart and would recommend this company to my friends. True customer service.M GM G ★★★★★ I heard about ShipSmart from another shipper in LA, and they did a great job with my small but valuable shipment. They picked up delicate objects at a private home in LA, packed them expertly, and safely got them to me in Montana in about a week - well ahead of the 4-week estimate. My favorite thing about ShipSmart: I can pick up the phone and talk directly to the folks who run the show. Great service, no complaints!Eleanor BarkerEleanor Barker ★★★★★ I heard about ShipSmart from another shipper in LA, and they did a great job with my small but valuable shipment.

The cost was reasonable, and everything came as expected with no damage. Much better than anything I was quoted from the big cross-state movers.Colleen JonesColleen Jones ★★★★★ It was okcool breezecool breeze ★★★★★ A trusted moving company recommended me to Ship Smart for my moving services from Houston TX to Phoenix AZ. They picked up all of my things from Houston and packed it on 2 pallets according to the weight of each box. They built a crate around the boxes and wrapped it a bunch of times with padding and extra security! We had a 65 in TV and a 50 in TV and about 30 boxes... NOT ONE THING WAS BROKEN OR DAMAGED!!! Me and my wife are soooo impressed with everything. They answered every question as I was super nervous getting my whole life shipped from one state to another... I recommend Ship Smart to anyone I know. 10 out of 10!!!!Celeste SantiagoCeleste Santiago ★★★★★ Leticia SantanaLeticia Santana ★★★★★ To begin with, we had an extremely positive experience with Shipsmart. People were professional from our query stage to final delivering process. We moved from East coast to West coast and all our belongings were delivered to us safe and on time as per the scheduled timeframe.Writing this review because I have been in the research phase and was worried about whom to choose. Hope my review could help someone who are currently in the same situation!rachana devarajrachana devaraj ★★★★★ We had a 200 + pound metal animal shipped from Scottsdale, Arizona to Minnesota. Very professional customer service…very informative….the whole experience was a pleasure. The animal arrived today. We were very happy with the communication given to us and the shipping quality they used to move it. I highlyrecommend all experiences we had with all communication.Connie EtshokinConnie Etshokin ★★★★★ Shipsmart was everything they claim to be and more in providing a quality moving experience for us. We had a relatively small shipment, about the equivalent of a studio apartment to move from Vancouver BC to the Bay Area in California. The shipment was picked up in Vancouver the last week of July and delivered on August 18, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the service. The shipment arrived on 3 pallets and the way each piece of furniture was wrapped and protected was amazing, the contents of each pallet were wrapped in layers of cardboard, creating large, sturdy boxes on each pallet. There was only very minimal damage to one item. And the cost was a fraction of what the major moving companies would charge for a similar move.Three cheers for Shipsmart and 5 stars.John ColettiJohn Coletti ★★★★★ They was awesome and helped me with issue with my carEsther PaulEsther Paul ★★★★★ After a loved one passed away I had to get a handful of stuff from NY to NC. Ship Smart was a LIFE SAVER, literally the easiest and most affordable option I could find and ended up blowing my mind with how well everything came packaged and delivered! I am so grateful, these random items that are so sentimental to me we treated like precious cargo! 2 Thumbs up!Nicole CayaNicole Caya ★★★★★ Colin BrindleColin Brindle ★★★★★ Jordan KittsJordan Kitts ★★★★★ Jordan KittsJordan Kitts ★★★★★ Dorothy Ferguson-ParhamDorothy Ferguson-Parham ★★★★★ Rick-Anthony FranceseRick-Anthony Francese ★★★★★ We had some pieces that were left to us by our mother who recently passed away. We were out of state and some of the pieces were heirlooms. We had no way to transport them and this company was referred to us by a moving company as it was a small load.It is a hard time when a family member is gone and they made it easier on us.Carly especially, was available when I needed help or information.I recommend that you get a list of what you need moved and make it as complete as possible before you ask for an estimate. It was easy to set up, but the website is not easy to navigate to add items. Bottom-line, they charge based on weight. So unless it is an expensive item you want to insure, it won't matter. Hopefully, you are more organized than I was!Vyki BishopVyki Bishop ★★★★★ ChicagoChicago ★★★★★ Great customer service from Ana Mayer, super helpful.Stay away from Jim if you are looking for good customer service.Bob AllenBob Allen ★★★★★ Victor MoralesVictor Morales ★★★★★ Used ShipSmart to have an antique desk shipped from WI to NJ. Great communication on both ends of the move, item arrived quickly and packaged in a crate. No issues at all!Amy WAmy W ★★★★★ This company brought my Grandmom's beautiful antique desk across the whole country. It arrived in great shape, on time, and with courteous people at delivery. Could not ask for more.Catherine AlderCatherine Alder ★★★★★ Shipped an antique grandfather clock from Colorado Springs to Seattle. The clock was lovingly and carefully padded and wrapped. It arrived as scheduled in perfect condition. The staff was professional and friendly. Will without doubt use Ship Smart again as we downsize and send family items to our children and grandchildren! DrBeaBea MillerBea Miller ★★★★★ Awesome experience. I talked to real people at each turn, and they answered any and all questions I had regarding my furniture shipment to Hawaii. Pick up was great, and the crew they had was fabulous! My items got to their destination sooner than expected, I was very happy. Would use again!sherri holstadsherri holstad ★★★★★ I hired Ship Smart during the summer to move a valuable antique from Wisconsin to Georgia The one- hundred year old desk arrived on time and in perfect condition. The communication between the company, the driver and myself was outstanding. I highly recommend Ship Smart for your moving needs across long distances. I can finally enjoy my mother’s secretary in my new home. Thank you Ship Smart for your excellent service.Mary BuckMary Buck ★★★★★ I had a great experience with Ship Smart!Basically, Ship Smart offers moving services for customers who need to ship more stuff than is possible via mail, but less stuff than would justify working with moving companies which tend to have very high minimum quotes. In my case, I needed to move one bedroom's worth of furniture and personal items.Ship Smart was PERFECTLY suited to this task. They made a relatively complicated process -- picking up one bedroom's worth of items, storing them for two months, and shipping them across the country -- very simple. The Ship Smart officials were amazing about explaining my options over the phone and rapidly getting me a quote. Unlike most moving services, this felt 100% tailored to my exact needs; therefore, I didn't end up feeling like I overpaid. And for what it's worth, the gentlemen who picked up/delivered my stuff were super cool and professional!Mateo JarquinMateo Jarquin ★★★★★ Ship Smart made moving my small shipment across country so easy. Immediate and accurate pricing, speedy pick up and delivery, and friendly and professional coordinators that kept me updated on the status of my shipment throughout the process. Very grateful for their help and would use again!Sandra RodriguezSandra Rodriguez ★★★★★ Jason WilliamsJason Williams ★★★★★ Ship Smart handle our requests with professionalism and compassion we had a great experience and will definitely use them again.Donald LawsonDonald Lawson ★★★★★ I had a great experience with Ship Smart. I had to move my mom across country, which I knew would be a big expense. We decided to leave her furniture at her condo so we could rent it out, so we only took her belongings (about 20 boxes). We didn't need her things quickly because she was going to stay with us as we got her apartment ready so cheaper price with a slower move was our goal and Ship Smart fit that perfectly. It didn't even take very long (3 weeks from Florida to Oregon). I called 2-3 times when trying to decide whether to move a heavy piece of furniture and they were helpful and patient giving me my options. Every time I changed the move details (more boxes, moving artwork) they sent me a revised quote with the details spelled out. Everything went great. Can't recommend them strongly enough.Cathy HeslinCathy Heslin ★★★★★ I had a small move from Atlanta to South Florida. Ship Smart was affordable, efficient, and very customer focused. I would use them again and highly recommend them.Michele Parrish RealtorMichele Parrish Realtor ★★★★★ Awesome, reliable, professional company. They were able to meet my small shipping needs. I had about 8-10 boxes of personal items I needed sent and stored across country. My items arrived without any damage and the service I received was great! I highly recommend them and will definitely use the again in the future.Jenny WuthrichJenny Wuthrich ★★★★★ I cannot say enough good things about working with Ship Smart! We have a large corporate office with many tenants that I coordinate for, and Ship Smart could not have been more pleasant to work with! They always answered our calls quick and consistently, and they held our information on file so it was easy to pick up and resume the planning process. We were working on behalf of a client that lived in Phoenix and had multiple valuable items to ship. Ship Smart was willing to work with our situation and accommodate the client with a custom ship date. They planned our packing date with a week's time and were extremely professional and flexible. I would HIGHLY recommend using Ship Smart to anyone in the corporate or residential world. I will be using them for all of my clients going forward. Thank you Ship Smart!Rebecca Shenefield BanzueloRebecca Shenefield Banzuelo ★★★★★ At first there was miscommunication regarding how the FULL process works. This was my first time working with a shipping company so I'm sure there was a few things on my part to be more clear. Nonetheless, Joslin Matthews stepped in to clearly communicate from start to finish my entire experience. My delivery schedule is actually 3-4 days ahead of schedule from what we talked about. If I have to move long distance again, I'll be sure to call Ship Smart. There are more logistics involved than people think about so it's just really important to find the right people who tell you everything start to finish. Work with Joslin and you'll be happy.kunal singhkunal singh ★★★★★ I used Ship Smart to pack up and ship items from New York to Portland Oregon. They packed my husband's guitars and amps and I was so thrilled with the materials they used and the care they took with our belongings. Everything came in perfect condition including china and glass. I would definitely, definitely use them again for any shipping!! Thank you !!!Karen StavisKaren Stavis ★★★★★ Affordable and reliable shipperA. K. FA. K. F ★★★★★ Awesome shipping company for small furniture items that just aren’t large enough to qualify for the large van lines. Fantastic pricing. I shipped two antique pieces of furniture from Seattle WA to Grand Rapids MI. Shipping was timely. Crews on both ends were very professional and efficient. And best part is furniture was so well packed/transported, it arrived at destination in pristine condition. Thank you ship smart! Will definitely work with you again!Kristy BeckerKristy Becker ★★★★★ This company is absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! Great customer service, and always updated me on my shipment. I was referred by a moving company that knew my small move would have been to expensive with them, and ship smart gave me a GREAT PRICE. Thank you so much!!WOULD DEFINITELY recommend!!!!!Alex McNeelyAlex McNeely ★★★★★ I was in a huge bind: I had booked a moving company that cancelled on me the day that they were suppose to show up. I was scrambling to find a company for my long distance move with literally ONE day notice.ShipSmart to the rescue!! They were so helpful and offered support and assured me that I would be taken care of. Customer service/sales was fantastic. They walked me through the paperwork process and had my reservation confirmed within an hour. The movers arrived exactly on-time, were extremely friendly, and packed everything with extreme care.Due to my last minute booking, ShipSmart did inform me that it may take up to 4 weeks for my furniture to me delivered across several states. I was a-okay with that as they saved me from being stranded with a house full of furniture that I couldn't move on my own. Once again, they exceeded my expectations - they called me within 10 days to tell me my stuff was on the way. It was delivered at my door step, 700 miles away, within 15 days.10/10 would recommended. They were awesome!Lesley GalarneauLesley Galarneau ★★★★★ Searched numerous sites and chose ShipSmart. Shipped several antique dressers and a mirror from a small town in MI to Oceanside. The pickup was done professionally and on time. The ETA was mis-communicated several times, maybe multiple shippers. Finally Jim Lock became involved and provided me accurate info. The contents all arrived well except the "antique mirror and frame were smashed". I worked mostly with Mitch who was excellent. After recontacting Mitch he advised to get an estimate. Upon receipt Mitch talked internally and Shipsmart reimbursed me very generously, more than they had to !!!!. The was only a 300# load and I was nervous. i would strongly recommend this company owing to there professionalism, more so with a small load. Great JOB Shipsmart (Ref: Pickup was 062417) JoeJoseph KamanJoseph Kaman ★★★★★ Aaron Adelmans Truck partsAaron Adelmans Truck parts ★★★★★ Ship Smart is a great, affordable moving service. The staff was very communicative, and always let me know what stage we were at in the shipping process. All of my (very fragile!) items arrived intact and on time, for about half of what I would have paid for conventional movers.

They were friendly and communicative the whole time and each of their moving partners in the origin and destination cities were also very friendly and communicative. The movers arrived on time loaded up in 10 minutes. They had my stuff prepared to ship to my destination in just 2-3 days (they originally told me 2-3 weeks!). They stored my belongings for a very low price while they were waiting for me to secure a destination address and then timed the shipping of my pallets to arrive on the exact day that I moved in to my new home. The pallets were delivered to my back door and everything was incredibly well packed and protected. I shipped lots of fragile, breakable items and nothing was broken, no boxes were crushed, every box that I had marked fragile or with arrows indicating the direction it needed to be stored were packed correctly. I'm so thankful that I found Ship Smart!Morgan LevyMorgan Levy ★★★★★ I used Ship Smart for a cross country move and everything went smoothly from start to finish.

I would highly recommend Ship Smart for any small moves (those where a large mover is not an option).Andrea BlockAndrea Block ★★★★★ This was a great company to work with and I would highly recommend them again for your shipping needs. I used Ship Smart to move several pieces of antique furniture from Texas to Ohio. I was very nervous because I didn't know what to expect, but each interaction I had with the staff was professional, prompt, and kind. My furniture was packed and taken care of in such a way that it arrived at my home in Ohio in exactly the same shape that it left Texas.Susannah TurnerSusannah Turner ★★★★★ I used Ship Smart to move cross country.

Initially, I thought the price was a little high but that was before I received the shipment. When I received the shipment and saw how the antiques were packed and crated and that no damage occurred during transit, I couldn't have been more pleased that my friend (who is also in the moving business) recommended them. The price was reasonable for the care my shipment received. I would definitely recommend Ship Smart to family and friends.Donald SpragueDonald Sprague ★★★★★ I had a myriad of fragile items shipped that included antique glass cake plates, rocking chairs and pieces of art.

All in all a very good experience.Elizabeth KerrElizabeth Kerr ★★★★★ Extremely pleased!It all started with a phone call and they made the moving be effortless. At first, since I had never heard of them I thought it was a scam. The people that came in to pick up my stuff almost asked me for a tip (third party company). And he was treating his co worker like crap. Anyway, I made the move from SLC to Florida and once I gave them an address, it only took days to get here! I did not buy protection or insurance so I was freaking out about my stuff. When it actually arrived, they came in pallets. But you can tell only a professional could have packed so many things. It was just perfect after perfection. It is all very secretly packaged. Even the driver (third party) from SAIA, Asier me what I has inside. I did not buy fo extra men to unpack but would I had done that... The pallets were not hard to pull apart. It tells you to remove the screws. Nothing broke. Nothing. Not even a scratch.

After 17 years with my company, it became my job to close it and then clear our 27 years of publications, correspondence and board meeting minutes. Ship Smart transported these records to their permanent home so they can be part of a research base/ case histories. The local pick up was clean and efficient and your delivery was above what they expected, in terms of willingness to place our records where they wanted them. Your service made the end of an unpleasant task a good event. and, you worked within my limited budget.

They delivered exactly as promised and everything arrived in good shape. The competitor couldn't promise any delivery date so I chose Ship Smart. Prices were competitive and delivery team courteous. Thanks!Sally Jewett-BrocatoSally Jewett-Brocato ★★★★★ My furniture was packed to perfection. Best way to ship items that are too small or weigh too little for a big mover. The items arrived in perfect condition and the staff was pleasant and courteous. I would ship with Ship Smart again.cal595cal595 ★★★★★ I found Ship Smart on the internet, to have two items shipped from ME to CA. When Ship Smart failed to call me and let me know when they would pick up the items, I called them. They immediately got on it, packed and shipped the two items, and the furniture arrived on time, without a scratch. I was very impressed with their service. The gentleman who delivered was only supposed to drop off the furniture curbside, but went the extra mile and placed the items in my garage at no charge. Was extremely satisfied with this service. Wouldn't hesitate to use it again.Elaine Roberts MusserElaine Roberts Musser ★★★★★ Hi, These guys are great. Every time I called for help, they were always available, I talked to a real person and they always knew the answer! I checked around for prices and they were the lowest price.

Overall, this is a great company to use, Highly suggested!Elie SuaresElie Suares ★★★★★ I had some antiques that I wanted to move from California to Boston.

The movers arrived on time to wrap the items and they arrived in perfect condition (also on time). I would use them again.Bridget GleasonBridget Gleason ★★★★★ Ship Smart was recommended to me by a friend when I was planning a move from NC to CA. I called them up and was immediately blown away at their customer service. They won me over as a customer, and were very informative, continually, throughout the whole move process.The incredible way in which they packed and palletized everything meticulously was simply amazing when my entire life's belongings arrived, and arrived on time.I will never hesitate to use Ship Smart again if ever (hopefully not) I have to move again.Chris PadgettChris Padgett ★★★★★ I recently used Ship Smart to bring a room's worth of furniture from FL to NY. It was too small a load for a large shipper, but too large, and too long a distance for me to do any other way. The Ship Smart folks, both pick up and delivery, and my "office " contact were excellent. Everything came well-packed, and undamaged and in the time frame agreed upon. My only "issue" was that the actual cost was about $1000 over the quote, but that was due to the fact that I did not have exact dimensions/weight. When all is said and done, I would use them again with confidence.Kathryn GodleyKathryn Godley ★★★★★ I recently relocated to Arizona from Texas and needed to move a fair amount of stuff, but not enough to be cost efficient to utilize a moving company. I contacted a moving company that I used previously and they recommended Ship Smart. It is important to note that they are not a moving company but a shipping company as the process is entirely different. Since I was fairly flexible on my pick up date and completely flexible on my delivery date-- it was a wonderful resource. Dealing with the main office was easy and the quote they provided was reasonable. The actual invoice was greater than the quote but that was because I had underestimated how much I was actually moving. When the Texas Team picked up the items -- they were so nice and accommodating and were not flustered at all by the extra items. They were professional and really great to work with. It was a hot day in the summer and they were had to go up and down several flights of stairs-- however it was not a problem for them. They were really wonderful to work with.They packed up the boxes in a professional crate and sealed it with care. The items were received in perfect condition and the driver was able to place the crates in the garage. I was quoted a time frame which was fine since I was not in a hurry to get the items. Again this is a freight company and if you need the items unloaded, unpacked and delivered by a certain time-- perhaps this is not the company for you. I was pleasantly surprised and pleased to receive my items a few weeks ahead of schedule.Ship Smart provided a great service and I can't speak for others-- but I would for sure use them again.Rachel WallachRachel Wallach ★★★★★ Shipsmart promptly provided their competitive quote to move a family teak buffet from San Diego to Michigan. Their price was significantly cheaper than multiple other major moving company quotes. Once I received the buffet I was amazed how well the item was custom foam packed within the custom made carton. It was fantastically packed (way above my expectations!!) and arrived on schedule without any damage. It was packed as if the item was their own. My expectations were exceeded! I would definitely use them again!Robert CaswellRobert Caswell ★★★★★ Ship Smart was just what I was looking for to move several items of furniture from Texas to Georgia. The amount of furniture was not enough to use a moving company so this was a great, affordable option. They were very professional in every step of the way. I thought they were fairly priced and made it very easy for me. The guys that I used for unpacking told me they had never seen anything packed so well! They were extremely impressed which gave me even more confidence in the great job that Ship Smart performed.Melinda StevensonMelinda Stevenson ★★★★★ I was concerned about getting our personal belongings from Georgia to Oregon. Ship Smart was referred to me by a major mover. Would this move be affordable? Well, Ship Smart estimate ( which was the final price) made this move possible. They said it could take 2-3 weeks to receive our shipment. To my surprise I received a call 8 days later to arrange to deliver our shipment in the morning. This move could not have gone smoother. Thank you Ship SmartDiane ScottalineDiane Scottaline ★★★★★ Could not be more pleased with the service we received from Ship Smart. We had 125 year old Grandfather Clock shipped from CA to NC and we were blown away by the quality and care that was taken to assure it would arrive safely. All of the staff we dealt with from the initial phone call to the delivery driver were wonderful!shondra lenzshondra lenz ★★★★★ The entire team at Ship Smart are consummate professionals who really understand the moving business and provide stellar customer service. We had an international move from Vancouver to Los Angeles, which can be daunting and stressful. We decided to work with Ship Smart because they were the most professional explaining the process, were able to provide expert advice on the logistics, and had competitive pricing. We were not disappointed.

The Scary GuyThe Scary GuyThe Scary Guy ★★★★★ We learned of Ship Smart from one of the major movers who suggested them for small load moves. The service was nothing less than exceptional. Having moved over 9 time, this service was by far the best. The Connecticut local packer did the best job protecting and boxing we have ever seen, Everything that Ship Smart said would happen happened exactly as the described. Inquiries were answered immediately. The local delivery service was courteous, helpful, and made sure the pallets were where we wanted them.Most importantly, we had zero damage on anything.Highly recommended!!Peter FantlPeter Fantl ★★★★★ We have used Ship Smart 3 times moving long distance and everything arrived in good condition.

Their diligence and communication was excellent throughout the process and they were incredibly patient with changes. Kudos!Edward HubbardEdward Hubbard ★★★★★ Small shipment, regular van lines gave me two to four week window plus standard fees plus packing fees. ShipSmart picked up my self-packed clothes and household goods, and they packed my two bicycles in separate custom cartons. Actual weight was close to their estimate based on my input, and fee was reasonable and much cheaper and safer than my renting a U-Haul and dealing with a trailer. From NoCal to SoCal took a week, got a call for next day delivery between 10-2 PM; driver called at 11:30 am, said he'd be there in an hour. I went outside after 50 minutes and he was turning the corner. Delivered right to my back door as promised. All goods shrink-wrapped on two pallets. I unloaded everything off the pallets and he took them away. Easy and on time and nothing broken or missing. Can't get any better than that. I intend to use them for my return trip.David GuerlandDavid Guerland ★★★★★ Small shipment, regular van lines gave me two to four week window plus standard fees plus packing fees.

I had 10 boxes of valuable antiques, a marble top table and a grandfather clock that needed to be moved from Florida to Arizona. North American Van Lines turned me on to Ship Smart.

The office staff was very helpful in explaining the entire process. The pick up truck came late, but kept me apprised via cell phone on their progress to my location.

You can't beat this service. I really did not have time to build a crate this large. They really made it easy. They picked the work up at my studio, packed it safely in cardboard to get it to the crating service. Crated it up beautifully. This was a large 350+ lbs grate! The work was shipped safely across the country in a really good time. They also provided insurance on art work, which a lot of shippers are reluctant to do. Service was personal and friendly. I talked to people on the phone instead of emails.Matt StraubMatt Straub ★★★★★ I recently used Shipsmart for nine huge paintings I had to ship across country from NYC to Austin TX.

Frequently Asked questions

1. What is the best way to ship a few pieces of furniture?

Arrow Down

The best way to ship a few pieces of furniture long distance is through a less-than-truckload (LTL) freight service that specializes in small shipments. Rather than paying for an entire moving truck you don’t need, your furniture is professionally picked up from your home, custom-packed at a warehouse to manufacturer standards, palletized, and shipped alongside other shipments heading in the same direction. You only pay for the space your items actually occupy. At Ship Smart, we’ve been perfecting this process for over 25 years. Whether you need to ship one piece, two pieces, or a full set of furniture, our network of over 300 locations nationwide means we can handle pickups and deliveries to all 50 states, Canada, and most international destinations.

2. How much does it cost to ship furniture to another state?

Arrow Down

The cost to ship furniture to another state depends on the total packed weight, distance, and the service level you choose. Our pricing is based on your actual inventory — so you only pay for what you’re shipping, never for unused truck space. Factors that influence cost include whether you select our deferred service (the most cost-effective option) or an expedited service with a guaranteed delivery date, and whether your items require custom wood crating for added protection. You can get a free estimate in minutes using our online moving calculator or by calling our team at (866) 333-8018.

3. Do I need to pack my own furniture before shipping?

Arrow Down

No. Ship Smart handles all packing for you. Our certified packing professionals custom-pack every item at our warehouse using bubble wrap, foam, heavy-duty cartons, and when needed, full wood crating — mirroring the way manufacturers pack their own products. This is included as part of our service. You don’t need to wrap, box, or prepare anything. Our team picks up your furniture directly from the first floor of your home or business with white-glove service, so you don’t have to lift a finger.

4. What is LTL furniture shipping?

Arrow Down

LTL stands for less-than-truckload. It’s a freight shipping method where your furniture shares truck space with other shipments heading in the same direction. Instead of paying for an entire moving truck — which most traditional movers require, even if you only have a few pieces — you pay only for the portion of space your items occupy. This makes LTL the most cost-effective option for shipping furniture long distance when your load is under 2,000 lbs. Ship Smart’s multimillion-dollar partnerships with North America’s top carriers secure deep discounts on LTL freight, and we pass those savings directly to our customers. Combined with our custom packing and a damage rate below 2%, it’s the safest and most affordable way to ship furniture across the country.
