Mattress Shipping Cost from Djibouti to Austin, Texas

Can I ship a mattress through FedEx? Yes, you can. If you're shipping a mattress, you must pack it in a mattress shipping box. We also recommend that you pack it in heavy-duty plastic before you box and ship it.

Shipping a 50-pound box costs roughly $40 to $130+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (FedEx Ground/UPS Ground often cheaper than USPS Ground Advantage), and if you use discounts or flat rates. For short distances, it might be ~$40-$70, while cross-country can reach $75-$130+, plus potential $28+ handling fees from UPS/FedEx for heavy items.

To ship a bed frame across the country, disassemble it completely, carefully wrap and protect all parts (especially corners and hardware), then use a Less Than Truckload (LTL) freight carrier like FedEx Freight or UPS Freight, or a specialized furniture shipper like uShip, for the most cost-effective and secure method, ensuring you get insurance and consider palletizing for extra safety.
