Mattress Shipping Cost from Detroit, Michigan to Berlin

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 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.

The best way to ship from the US to Germany depends on speed vs. cost: use DHL Express, FedEx Priority, or UPS Worldwide Express for fast (2-6 days) time-sensitive needs; USPS Priority Mail International for affordable, tracked service (6-10 days); and USPS First-Class Package for very small/light items (weeks). For bulky items, Sea Freight is cheapest but slow (4-8 weeks). Always compare carriers and use platforms like Shippo or Easyship for quotes, and remember to accurately complete customs forms for smooth delivery.
