Mattress Shipping Cost from Birmingham to Cape Town

For the absolute cheapest shipping from the USA to South Africa, USPS First Class Mail International is your best bet for small, light items (letters/flats), while USPS Priority Mail International offers great value for small parcels with longer delivery times (weeks), with rates potentially starting around $25-$35+. For slightly faster but still affordable options, look into consolidators like Parcel Monkey or Easyship or services like DHL Express or FedEx International Economy/Connect Plus, often starting around $20-$50+ for heavier items with delivery in days to a couple of weeks.

The average cost of an international move — including expenses like shipping and moving services — can range from about $3,000 to $18,000 or more. However, smaller moves over shorter distances may cost less, while larger, longer-distance moves may cost more.

Can I ship a mattress through FedEx? Yes, you can. If you're shipping a mattress, you must pack it in a mattress shipping box. We also recommend that you pack it in heavy-duty plastic before you box and ship it.
