Mattress Shipping Cost from Lome to Shenzhen

Shipping from Shenzhen, China, varies drastically by method: Express (DHL/FedEx/UPS) takes 1-7 days, Air Freight is 2-15 days, while Sea Freight can range from 14 days to over 40 days, depending heavily on the destination (West Coast US is faster) and whether it's Full Container Load (FCL) or Less than Container Load (LCL). Factors like customs, holidays, and carrier efficiency also significantly impact total time.

TL;DR: Shipping a 20ft container from China to Australia costs $1,800-$3,500 USD in 2025, while 40ft ranges $2,500-$4,800 USD. Fuel surcharges, port congestion, and HS code updates drive variations.

Shanghai to Los Angeles/Long Beach: approximately 2 to 3 weeks transit on the water. Many vessels can do this route in about 14–18 days under normal conditions. (The shortest express vessels might be around 11-12 days port-to-port, while some make a stop or two and take up to 20+ days.)
