Mattress Shipping Cost from Kansas City, Missouri to Beijing

Shipping a mattress is more complex and expensive than standard deliveries. Whether you're moving, selling mattresses online, or buying from a retailer, you're looking at costs ranging from $130-280 for ground shipping across the U.S., with premium services reaching $1,500+ for cross-country delivery.

US-China shipping fees vary wildly, from around $15 for small USPS packages to hundreds or thousands for large freight, with recent government-imposed port fees (now suspended for a year as of Nov 2025) adding complexity for commercial vessels, but for general shipping, expect costs based on weight, speed (air is faster/pricier), and size, using services like USPS, UPS, FedEx, or freight forwarders, with costs from ~$5/kg for bulk air freight to $30+ for small parcel express.

Shipping a 50 lb box typically costs $40 to $100+ for ground services, varying widely with distance, carrier, speed, and dimensions, with FedEx/UPS Ground often around $40-$90+, USPS Ground Advantage being cheaper for shorter distances but limited, and faster/express options exceeding $100-$300+.
