Shipping rates for lots of expensive furniture are going to be high. In my son’s case, he just ordered a mattress from IKEA, so just had a UPS charge. (Mattresses come rolled up and flattened - have to unroll them and let them fluff up for a little while.)

Here are UPS shipping rates for IKEA in Lafayette (I guessed at zipcode.) Hope the link works. In general, if it’s under 45 pounds and under $150, shipping is $23. Buying lots of heavy stuff online probably doesn’t make sense. You end up paying moving van fees.
