Mattress Shipping Cost from Beijing to Allentown, Pennsylvania

Shipping a mattress typically costs $160 to over $900, depending heavily on distance, weight, size (King costs more than Twin), and speed, with standard ground services like UPS Ground or FedEx Ground being cheaper ($130-$250) than expedited options or using specialized white-glove movers, which can reach $1,000+. Expect higher costs for long distances, heavier or larger mattresses (especially King/Queen), and faster delivery, while preparing it in a mattress box and checking Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight options can save money.

Shipping from China to the USA can take 3 days to over a month, depending heavily on the method: Express/Air freight is fastest (1-7 days), Air Freight takes 1-2 weeks, while slow-and-steady Sea Freight typically takes 15-45 days, with West Coast ports being quicker than East Coast routes. Factors like customs clearance and carrier choice significantly impact the total time.

Using an international courier, also known as express freight is generally more reliable and quicker than by mail, whether it's DHL, UPS or TNT. As a rule of thumb, at about $5 per kilo, express freight is the cheapest shipping mode for packages or small shipments up to about 150 kg.
