Mattress Shipping Cost from Miami, Florida to San Diego, California

Shipping a mattress is expensive, often costing $150 to over $400 for ground shipping depending on carrier, distance, and weight, with major carriers like USPS, FedEx, and UPS charging hefty oversized fees (e.g., $100+ for USPS/FedEx) for large items, while specialized freight or White Glove services can run $1,000+ for door-to-door care, making it sometimes cheaper to replace it, notes Easyship, TSI Shipping, purple.com, PlushBeds, ClickPost.

Shipping from Florida to California takes 2 to 7 business days for standard ground services (like UPS Ground, FedEx Ground, USPS Ground Advantage), but can be as fast as 1-2 days with premium air options (FedEx Express, UPS Next Day/2-Day ) or over a week for very slow/budget options, depending on the carrier, specific locations, and service chosen.

The cheapest way to ship a mattress is UPS Ground, which costs ~$130 for short distances (~130 miles) and ~$210 for cross-country shipping. The fastest way to ship a mattress is UPS Next Day Air Early or FedEx First Overnight, with delivery by the next morning for $392-1,520 depending on distance.
