Mattress Shipping Cost from Hong Kong to Djibouti

A package from Hong Kong to the US can take 1-4 days with express air (DHL, FedEx, UPS), 3-10 days with standard air/e-express, 2-7 days for air freight, or 20-40 days via slow sea freight, depending heavily on speed, cost, customs, and carrier; urgent items use premium express, while bulk/cheap goods use slower methods.

Express shipping continues at $5–$10 per kg, with standard post around $10–$20 per kg. Delivery Times (September 2025): Sea freight to Lagos (Apapa/Tincan) remains at 48–52 days, with improved vessel scheduling compared to summer peaks. Air freight still averages 6–8 days, while express parcels reach Lagos in 3–5 days.

Yes, shipping from Hong Kong to the US is happening, but it's much more complicated and costly due to the US ending the de minimis exemption for HK goods in May 2025, meaning most parcels face high tariffs and mandatory customs, forcing Hongkong Post to halt its standard parcel service and rely on private carriers like DHL, FedEx, UPS, and SF Express for goods, not just documents.
