How uShip Calculates Your Shipping Cost

Shipping costs can vary, but uShip makes it easy to understand what goes into your price. Here’s what factors in:

Distance & Location: Longer trips typically cost more, but routes with backhaul opportunities can reduce your rate.
Item Type & Size: A car, couch, or kayak each requires different handling, space, and equipment.
Transport Type: Open, enclosed, or specialty services (like white glove or flatbed) can impact the final price.
Delivery Timeframe: Urgent or fixed-date shipments often cost more than flexible ones.

Average Shipping Cost by Category

Wondering what others paid? These average price ranges are based on real shipments booked through uShip:

Cars & SUVs: $500–$1,500 Depends on mileage, size, and open vs. enclosed transport.
Motorcycles: $200–$800 Influenced by distance, size, and delivery speed.
Furniture: $150–$600 Varies by dimensions, fragility, and whether white glove service is needed.
Boats: $1,000–$5,000 Costs fluctuate based on size, trailer access, and permits.
Household Goods: $100–$700 Ideal for partial loads, apartment moves, or mixed-item shipments.

Tips to Reduce Your Shipping Cost

A few simple choices can make a big difference in what you pay. Here’s how to keep your costs low without cutting corners:

  • Be flexible with pickup and delivery dates: More flexibility means more carrier options and better rates.
  • Ship during off-peak seasons: Avoid summer and holiday rushes when prices tend to rise.
  • Choose open transport when possible: Open carriers are more common and typically less expensive.
  • Consolidate multiple items: Shipping furniture, boxes, or household goods together can lower your total cost.
  • Compare quotes before you book: Let carriers compete for your shipment so you get the best deal.

FAQs About Shipping Costs

How is my shipping cost calculated?

Can I get instant quotes online?

Yes. Enter your shipment details and location to receive competitive quotes from multiple carriers.

Are the costs shown final or estimates?

Quotes are real bids from transporters, not rough estimates. Your final price depends on the provider you choose and any extra services you request.

No. Payment is held securely and only released once your item is delivered.

Can I track my shipment?

Yes. Most carriers offer tracking updates and direct messaging through the uShip platform.
