Mattress Shipping Cost from Guangzhou to Cartagena

Sea Freight Transit Time from China to Colombia The transit time to transport a container from China to Colombia is estimated between 22 to 30 days from port to port. The duration of transit time will differ depending on the required service route and sailing plan.

Shipping from China varies wildly, from a few dollars for small items via postal service (like USPS Priority Mail Express International from $30+) to $2,000-$6,000+ for full containers (FCL) by sea, while air freight usually costs $3-$8+ per kilogram; prices depend heavily on weight, size, speed (air vs. sea), and chosen carrier ( DHL, FedEx, UPS, EMS, freight forwarders). For small parcels, express couriers are faster but pricier, while standard air freight (150-500kg) or LCL (less than container load) sea freight offer better per-kilo rates for larger shipments.

Shipping from Guangzhou to the USA takes 1-5 days by express air, 2-15 days by standard air, and 15-45+ days by sea, depending on the chosen method, with faster options like DHL/FedEx/UPS being quickest and ocean freight being the slowest but most economical for large shipments, with port congestion and customs impacting transit times.
