Mattress Shipping Cost from Addis Ababa to Karachi

Air cargo prices per kg vary widely, typically from $1.50 to over $10+ per kg, depending heavily on route (e.g., dense lanes cheaper), cargo value/urgency, weight/volume (heavier = lower rate), fuel costs, seasonality, and global events, with general ranges around $4-$8/kg recently but sometimes hitting $20/kg during peak disruptions like the pandemic, notes Freight Right, Agora Freight, Bookairfreight, WebCargo® | Real-Time Air Cargo Booking & Pricing, and The Intech Group.

International cargo price per kg varies greatly by mode (air/sea/rail), route, volume, and demand, but generally, air freight costs are $4-$8/kg (sometimes $2-$6 for larger volumes), rail freight can be $3-$5/kg (China-Europe example), and ocean freight is often priced per cubic meter but can be lower per kg for large volumes (e.g., $0.50-$2/kg range for bulk). Expect higher rates for urgent, small, or specialized cargo and lower rates for bulk shipments.

The cheapest way to send a package to Ethiopia depends on weight: for light items (under 2 lbs), USPS (especially First Class if reliability isn't key) is often cheapest ; for heavier boxes, Aramex or using a parcel consolidator like MyUS / Shipito with DHL/FedEx might be best, as they offer discounted rates, with Aramex frequently being the lowest cost carrier overall, though slower. Always compare rates using online calculators from USPS, DHL, FedEx, Aramex, or consolidators like MyUS.com and Shipito for your specific weight and urgency.
