Try Yellow Freight.  They've delivered large (about the size of a couch) and heavy (about half the weight of a car) stuff for us.

There are many potential sources.  I think your largest cost will be shipping.  Consider contacting groups like Goodwill or Salvation Army.  Many people in the U.S. donate clothes to these charitable organizations, who then resell them to support their missions.

I worked with a company a few years ago called US Xpress Enterprises Inc.\n\nThey'll beat the typical delivery methods including DHL, UPS, USPS, etc.\n\nFeel free to contact me. I'm a consultant and I'd be glad to assist.

Use US Postal Service.  It should be the same as shipping to someone in the US.

UPS is good, and usually cheaper. If you are not in a hurry, send it with them. If you are use Fed-Ex.

Rent a U-Haul truck and move it yourself.  You will save yourself a LOT of money doing it that way and you can tow your car behind then.  I have moved across country doing that and believe me, it is WAY cheaper than hiring a mover.  But, if you want insurance on your items then hire a mover to do it for you.  That way you are insured for everything that is being moved in the event that something gets broken.  Its totally up to you.

Go to www.paypal.com and read.  Paypal is a legit operation, and they will not cheat you, but if you ever get an e-mail supposedly from paypal, do not trust it.\n\nIf you are going to pack and ship merchandise yourself, go to a post office or UPS store and figure out your shipping options.  You want to charge enough for shipping to cover the cost of shipping.  You may wish to avoid selling large heavy objects.\n\nIf you are not an expert on the things you sell, you may wish to see what similar objects sell for.   As you may have noticed, almost anything can be sold on E-bay, but if nobody is much interested, you may not get top dollar.

Start by researching your product first. The cost of importing can be astounding. Are you in a financial position to order a container of furniture from a foreign country, pay the shipping costs, warehouse costs, import taxes, cargo fees, customs fees, etc.? Then where are you going to warehouse all this furniture. Get a reputable company to build your website ($1,000 to $5,000) and then wait for orders to come in. Okay, now that you have orders, you have to ship that furniture to the customer. Furniture being too big for UPS, is going to have to be delivered by truck. And don't forget, that once you've sold everything, it usually takes 4-6 months before you get your next shipment in from overseas. But before all that, ask yourself, who buys furniture on line without being able to see the quality of the product first?

with a big box and styrofoam blocks to suspend it in the middle.  Stab the ends into the styrofoam blocks and put a couple in the middle, sides and deck.  You can get them at the back door of a furniture store.
