Furniture Shipping Cost from Mexico City to Freetown

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.

To ship a single piece of furniture across long distances, choose a parcel carrier like UPS or USPS for small items. For larger pieces, such as beds or sofas, consider a freight service offering LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipping—it's cost-effective, and your furniture will be transported with other loads.
