Mattress Shipping Cost from Columbus, Ohio to Guatemala City

International Shipping rates to Guatemala from the US F.A.Q. International shipping rates are typically more expensive than domestic shipping rates. This is because of several factors, such as import taxes, customs duties, logistics, and fuel costs involved in delivering shipments overseas.

Shipping a 50 lb package costs roughly $40 to $90 for ground services, varying greatly by distance, carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed, and if you use flat rates or discounts, with USPS Ground Advantage often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive cross-country, plus potential surcharges for heavy items. For example, short-haul USPS might be ~$38, while cross-country UPS could reach ~$72 plus fees, or you could find FedEx Ground around $70.

Yes, Amazon.com does ship select items to Guatemala through its AmazonGlobal program, but many items aren't eligible for direct shipping, so it's often better to use a US-based mail forwarding service (like Global Shopaholics, ColisExpat, or ShipToBox ) for broader access and potentially lower costs. These services provide a US address, consolidate packages, and then forward them to Guatemala, often with faster and more reliable service than direct mail.
