Shipping Cost from Austin, Texas to Long Beach, California

The cheapest way to ship a mattress involves compressing it (if foam/memory foam) into a smaller box using a vacuum sealer and using USPS Ground Advantage or FedEx/UPS Ground for budget carriers, but always compare quotes, as prices vary by distance and carrier, often favoring FedEx/UPS for heavier items unless it's a short distance where USPS might win, using services like Shiply or Freight for large/heavy items if DIY fails.

Shipping from Texas to California typically takes 1 to 5 business days, depending heavily on the carrier and service chosen, with faster options like USPS Priority Mail (1-3 days) or UPS Ground (1-5 days) being quicker than slower ones like Media Mail or Ground Advantage, which can take 2-8 days, though delays are possible due to volume.

The cheapest way to ship a mattress is UPS Ground, which costs ~$130 for short distances (~130 miles) and ~$210 for cross-country shipping. The fastest way to ship a mattress is UPS Next Day Air Early or FedEx First Overnight, with delivery by the next morning for $392-1,520 depending on distance.
