Mattress Shipping Cost from Djibouti to Quito

Shipping to Ecuador involves choosing between fast but costly couriers (DHL, FedEx, UPS) or cheaper but slower options like ocean freight, requiring precise documentation (commercial invoice, RUC number ) and adherence to strict customs regulations, with potential taxes and restrictions on certain goods like used items. For parcels, expect $20-$50+ for small items; for large cargo, LCL sea freight starts around $80/CBM, while full containers can range from $2,000-$3,000+, with transit times varying from days (air) to weeks (sea).

CUSTOMS REGULATIONS: Household effects are those items basic to the home. For example, furniture, televisions, radios, stoves, refrigerators. Personal and household goods which are not in commercial quantities may be cleared without the services of a licensed Customs Broker.

The cheapest way to send a package to Ethiopia depends on weight: for light items (under 2 lbs), USPS (especially First Class if reliability isn't key) is often cheapest ; for heavier boxes, Aramex or using a parcel consolidator like MyUS / Shipito with DHL/FedEx might be best, as they offer discounted rates, with Aramex frequently being the lowest cost carrier overall, though slower. Always compare rates using online calculators from USPS, DHL, FedEx, Aramex, or consolidators like MyUS.com and Shipito for your specific weight and urgency.
