Mattress Shipping Cost from Beijing to Bloomington, Minnesota

Shipping a mattress is expensive, typically costing $150 to $300+ for standard ground services like USPS, FedEx, or UPS depending heavily on distance, weight, size (dimensions), and speed, with cross-country trips potentially reaching several hundred dollars or more, making it often cheaper to replace a standard mattress. Specialty carriers or white-glove services cost more, while peer-to-peer options like uShip can range from $200-$500+ but are negotiable.

Shipping from China to the USA takes 1 day to over a month, depending heavily on the method: Air Express (1-5 days), Air Freight (2-15 days), or Sea Freight (15-45+ days), with major factors including port congestion, customs, and the final US coast (West Coast is faster).

The cheapest shipping from China to the US depends on weight and speed: Sea Freight (LCL/FCL) is cheapest for heavy/bulk (50kg+), taking weeks; Air Freight (3-10 days) is best for medium/heavy (150kg+) at ~$3-8/kg; while for small parcels (<2kg), specialized postal/e-packet services (like China Post, YunExpress) are cheapest but slow (7-14+ days). For mid-range items (2-20kg), express couriers (DHL/UPS/FedEx) cost more but offer speed, so compare forwarder rates.
