Mattress Shipping Cost from Chengdu to Cairo

Shipping furniture from China by sea is the most common and cost-effective method, especially for larger volumes and heavier items. In terms of sea freight, there are two main options: Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL).

Shipping from China varies wildly, from under $10 for small express parcels to thousands for full containers, depending heavily on Weight/Volume, Speed (Air vs. Sea), and Service (Courier vs. Freight Forwarder), with express couriers (DHL, FedEx) around $5-12/kg for small goods, standard air freight $3-8/kg for bulk, and ocean freight container costs (FCL/LCL) ranging from ~$2,000-$3,500 per 20ft container or $50-$80/CBM for LCL.

Express Shipping from China to the US 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. But watch out, some couriers will charge an astronomical amount if you are not a registered customer.
