Question
How do I ship furniture if I sell it? How do I charge?  

Answer
There are several options for shipping furniture.

1) Offer local pickup only, so you don't have to ship it at all.

2) Use UPS.

3) Contact a freight company to handle it for you.

Personally, I would offer local pickup only. You may want to go to craigslist.org and put a free ad there, I usually use craigslist for very large items that I don't want to ship.

If you use local pickup or craigslist, you don't have to worry about a shipping fee.

Hope that helps.
