Mattress Shipping Cost from Kingston to Lagos

Shipping from the USA to Nigeria varies widely in cost, from around $10 for small packages via USPS to hundreds or thousands for larger cargo, depending heavily on speed (days vs. weeks), carrier (USPS, FedEx, DHL, or freight forwarders), weight, size, and if you need door-to-door service, with major factors being air freight (faster, pricier) vs. ocean freight (slower, cheaper for bulk), plus potential Nigerian customs duties/taxes (5% VAT + more). Expect smaller air packages to start at $80+, while large pallets by air might be $3-$4+ per lb, and large ocean shipments (like cars/containers) can be thousands.

Shipping a 40ft container from the USA to Nigeria generally costs $3,000 to over $9,000 USD, with current estimates (late 2025) often falling in the $3,300 - $9,500+ range, depending heavily on the departure port, shipping line, fuel surcharges, and specific service, but expect to budget for ocean freight plus local charges in Nigeria, say from $170k Naira (approx. $100-$150 USD) for port fees.

Shipping a king-size mattress typically costs $300 to over $900, depending heavily on distance, weight, chosen carrier (like freight vs. parcel), and speed, with standard freight ranging from $400-$600, peer-to-peer services potentially $200-$500+, and premium carriers like FedEx/UPS costing significantly more, sometimes over $1,000, especially with oversized surcharges.
