Mattress Shipping Cost from Bakersfield, California to Melbourne

The cheapest way to ship a mattress is UPS Ground, which costs ~$130 for short distances (~130 miles) and ~$210 for cross-country shipping. The fastest way to ship a mattress is UPS Next Day Air Early or FedEx First Overnight, with delivery by the next morning for $392-1,520 depending on distance.

Shipping a 50 lb box typically costs $75 to over $100, depending on distance, speed, and carrier, with FedEx Ground or UPS Ground often cheapest for longer distances ($70-$90+) and USPS Ground Advantage competitive for shorter hauls or regional delivery ($40-$70), though heavy surcharges apply for UPS/FedEx over 50 lbs. For speed, services like FedEx Express or USPS Priority Mail Express are much more expensive, potentially over $100-$200.

For example, if you're shipping from New York to a nearby state like New Jersey, delivery may only take one business day. However, shipping across the country, such as from California to Florida, may take up to five business days.
