Mattress Shipping Cost from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky

Mattress Bag or Stretch Wrap : A heavy-duty mattress bag protects your mattress from dirt, moisture, and damage during the move. These bags are inexpensive (around $5 - $10) and come in all standard mattress sizes. If you can't get a bag, plastic stretch wrap can work in a pinch.

Shipping a 50 lb box typically costs $40 to $80+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed, and if you use your own box or flat-rate options, with USPS often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive for longer hauls, though expect added handling fees for over 50 lbs. Expect around $38-$65 (USPS Ground), $42-$72 (UPS Ground), or $41-$70 (FedEx Ground) for typical cross-country routes, plus potential surcharges.

Can I ship a mattress through FedEx? Yes, you can. If you're shipping a mattress, you must pack it in a mattress shipping box. We also recommend that you pack it in heavy-duty plastic before you box and ship it.
