Mattress Shipping Cost from Freetown to Lagos

Shipping a 20-foot container to Nigeria typically costs $3,200–$6,000 ; 40-foot containers range from $5,500–$9,200 based on origin. Ocean freight delivery to Lagos or Port Harcourt averages 5–8 weeks; customs clearance and inland transport may extend total timeline.

Air cargo prices per kg vary widely, typically ranging from $1.50 to over $12 per kg, depending heavily on route, fuel costs, demand (holidays/product launches), and cargo type, with high-value or urgent goods costing more than general freight, and bulk shipments often getting better rates per kg. Prices fluctuate significantly, with pre-pandemic rates around $2.50-$4/kg rising to $12+/kg during peak times like the pandemic, and cheaper options available on competitive, high-frequency routes.
