Mattress Shipping Cost from Charlotte, North Carolina to Nashville, Tennessee

As we can see, the cheapest way to ship a mattress is with USPS Retail Ground. This service costs $150.35 and takes 2 to 9 business days. However, if you need expedited shipping service, Priority Mail Express 1-Day can deliver your parcel in no time.

Shipping a 300 lb package costs anywhere from under $100 to over $2,000+, depending heavily on distance, speed, carrier, and if it's freight; expect $100-$700+ for ground (UPS/FedEx) over shorter distances and $500-$2,000+ for longer distances or faster services, with freight or palletized options often cheaper than single-parcel carriers for such heavy items. Use comparison sites like Parcel Monkey or TSI Shipping, and consider freight or freight brokers for the best rates.

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Freight The carrier picks up your crated or palletized furniture and delivers it alongside other loads. While LTL shipments may make multiple stops and transfers, it's one of the cheapest methods overall for medium-sized loads.
