Mattress Shipping Cost from China to Texas

Shipping from China to Texas varies from a few days to over a month, depending on the method: Express couriers (DHL, FedEx, UPS) take 2-8 days, Air Freight 4-15 days, and slower, economical Ocean Freight 3-6+ weeks (20-45+ days), with final timing affected by customs, port congestion, and specific carrier.

Shipping a mattress is more complex and expensive than standard deliveries. Whether you're moving, selling mattresses online, or buying from a retailer, you're looking at costs ranging from $130-280 for ground shipping across the U.S., with premium services reaching $1,500+ for cross-country delivery.

Shipping a 40ft container from China to the USA currently costs roughly $3,000 to $7,000+, with West Coast routes generally cheaper ($3k-$6k) and East Coast routes more expensive ($4k-$7.5k+), depending heavily on market demand, specific ports, surcharges, and peak seasons. Expect to pay more during busy periods and factor in additional costs for customs, insurance, and inland transport, which aren't always included in base rates.
