Much has been written about the challenges of packing up and moving the contents of an entire house from one location to another. However, many people do not focus as much on the challenges of moving a smaller amount of furniture. This is unfortunate, because there are many occasions where consumers face a quandary of how to ship a small amount of furniture.

For instance, many people have to move teens to college out-of-state into dorm rooms that can only accommodate a limited amount of furniture. Parents are then faced with the dilemma of whether it is more cost-effective to move the items themselves with a rental truck or just purchase new items locally. Others wish to downsize and just want to keep a few cherished heirlooms. Still others may have found a great deal on a piece of used furniture in a far away location, but are debating whether the shipping costs will negate any savings.

Consumers need to know that there are many shipping options for shipping small amounts of furniture. Gone are the days when all shipping companies had minimum weight requirements. Today, many companies not only ship small amounts of furniture, but customize their services to fit your needs.

Maybe you just need a company that can ship one heavy piece of furniture without damaging it. Or maybe you need a company can disassemble a bedroom set, pack and ship it. Whatever your needs may be, you can certainly find a company that can fill them.
