Mattress Shipping Cost from Maputo to Frankfurt

Shipping to Africa from the USA varies wildly, from ~$20-$60 for small, light packages via USPS/budget couriers (weeks/months) to $100s for faster services (FedEx/UPS), and much cheaper per pound for large cargo via ocean freight ($0.50-$1.20/kg), depending heavily on destination (South Africa vs. Kenya), speed, size, weight, and chosen carrier like FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL, or freight forwarders.

To send a mattress, first vacuum seal it, and then securely roll or fold it in its protective packaging or a durable mattress bag. Choose a reputable courier familiar with handling large parcel deliveries.

How long does it take to ship from China to South Africa? Ocean shipping generally takes less than a month, around 26 days. Various factors, such as holidays, weather, distance, port services, and customs clearance, can disturb the process, but it should not take longer than a month.
