Mattress Shipping Cost from Athens to Hamburg

Shipping a 50 lb package costs roughly $40 to $90 for ground services, varying greatly by distance, carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed, and if you use flat rates or discounts, with USPS Ground Advantage often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive cross-country, plus potential surcharges for heavy items. For example, short-haul USPS might be ~$38, while cross-country UPS could reach ~$72 plus fees, or you could find FedEx Ground around $70.

You can't send weapons, explosives, large amounts of cash/valuables, live animals/plants, or counterfeit goods to Germany, with major restrictions on foods (meat/dairy), tobacco, alcohol, medication (requires prescriptions/docs), and items from endangered species, requiring strict customs declarations and potential duties/taxes. Always check your specific carrier (USPS, DHL, UPS) and the German Customs ( Zoll ) for details before shipping.

The cheapest way to ship to Germany is typically USPS First-Class Package International for lightweight items (under 4 lbs), or Priority Mail International for small to medium packages, with final delivery by Deutsche Post, but it's slower. For better value with tracking, consider consolidators like APC or GlobalPost, or use shipping platforms ( Shippo, ShipStation ) for discounted rates on major carriers (FedEx, DHL, UPS) if speed and tracking are priorities, factoring in potential German VAT/duties for recipients.
