Mattress Shipping Cost from Guayaquil to St. Paul, Minnesota

Ocean freight shipping Ocean shipping is a great option for bulkier shipments since it offers much more space than air for a lower price. Depending on how large your shipments are, and how frequently you ship, you can choose either LCL (less than a container load) or FCL (full container load).

Shipping a 40ft container overseas typically costs anywhere from $1,200 to over $20,000, with current estimates often falling in the $2,000 - $6,000 range for major routes like China to the US or Europe, but varying significantly by origin, destination, carrier, and market conditions. For example, shipping from China to the US West Coast might be $3k-$5k, while a move to Australia or Africa could range from $2k-$9k, and to Europe from $2k-$22k, depending on the exact ports and time.

Cost of Shipping Furniture Across Country On average, a single large item, like a couch or dresser, costs between $300 and $1,500 to ship cross-country. A queen mattress is usually $300–$600, while a large sectional sofa can run closer to $800–$1,500. The wide range makes sense once you see what goes into the cost.
