Mattress Shipping Cost from Chengdu to Ljubljana

Shipping from China varies wildly, from a few dollars for small items via postal service (like USPS Priority Mail Express International from $30+) to $2,000-$6,000+ for full containers (FCL) by sea, while air freight usually costs $3-$8+ per kilogram; prices depend heavily on weight, size, speed (air vs. sea), and chosen carrier ( DHL, FedEx, UPS, EMS, freight forwarders). For small parcels, express couriers are faster but pricier, while standard air freight (150-500kg) or LCL (less than container load) sea freight offer better per-kilo rates for larger shipments.

Sea freight rates from China to Europe The shipping cost of a fully loaded container (FCL) from China to Europe will range from $1500 to $3000, depending on the distance and the size of the container (20-foot or 40-foot).

The cheapest way to ship from China depends on weight and speed needs: Sea Freight is cheapest for bulk/heavy goods (weeks/months), Air Freight (via consolidators/3PLs like Beeping, Freightos) is best for medium weight (days/weeks), while Postal Services (USPS, China Post) or specialized couriers (Yunexpress, HK Post) are best for light parcels (under 2kg), offering ePacket/e-Express for budget-friendly, albeit slower, delivery (weeks). Using freight forwarders or consolidation services is key to unlocking volume discounts for better rates.
