Mattress Shipping Cost from Addis Ababa to Port Moresby

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 generally involves using USPS First Class International for small, light items or exploring discounted rates via shipping consolidators like Easyship and Pirate Ship for better value on slightly heavier parcels, opting for slower delivery (e.g., USPS Priority Mail International, Asendia ePAQ Standard), and comparing rates using online tools.
