Furniture Shipping Cost from Mexico City to Fort Worth, Texas

Shipping from Mexico to the U.S. varies widely in price, from around $30 for small USPS packages (flat rate) to hundreds or thousands for larger freight, depending heavily on speed (days vs. weeks), weight/size, and method (air, truck, sea). Expect basic small parcels to start around $30-$60 via USPS, while larger shipments might cost $0.20-$0.40/lb for LTL (truck), $1,200-$3,500/container for ocean, or $3-$6/kg for air freight, with significant potential for customs fees and duties.

From fluctuating fuel prices and driver shortages to customs documentation —such as the pedimento, which is required for legal entry of goods into Mexico or export to the U.S.—and duty classifications, every shipment involves multiple steps. Missteps can lead to costly delays or penalties.

Shipping a 20 lb box costs roughly $20-$40 for ground services (UPS/FedEx/USPS Ground Advantage) for shorter distances, but can jump significantly with faster options or longer zones, with USPS Priority Mail International starting around $30-$40 for international. Key factors are distance (zones), carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed (Ground vs. Express), and if you use online discounts or flat-rate options.
