Shipping Cost from Los Angeles, California to Cotonou

Shipping a 50 lb box generally costs $75 to over $120 for ground services, with carriers like FedEx Ground and UPS Ground often being cheaper than USPS Ground Advantage for heavy items, though prices vary significantly by distance, speed, and if you use discount platforms. For single boxes, services like FedEx Ground might be around $75-$80, while UPS Ground could be $80-$90, and USPS Ground Advantage might be higher, depending on the zone, but discounts can lower these significantly.

Cost of Shipping Furniture Across Country On average, a single large item, like a couch or dresser, costs between $300 and $1,500 to ship cross-country. A queen mattress is usually $300–$600, while a large sectional sofa can run closer to $800–$1,500. The wide range makes sense once you see what goes into the cost.

The cheapest shipping service depends on your package, but USPS is generally cheapest for lightweight items (under 2 lbs) with options like First-Class Mail or Ground Advantage, while UPS and FedEx become more competitive for heavier parcels (over 2 lbs), often with better ground rates. For specific needs, use USPS Media Mail for books/media, and for international, USPS First-Class Package International Service is great for small items. For maximum savings, use platforms like Pirate Ship, Stamps.com, or Parcel Monkey to get discounted rates.
