Mattress Shipping Cost from Nairobi to Abidjan

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.

To ship a mattress, first protect it with a waterproof mattress bag and bubble wrap, then vacuum seal to compress if possible, place it in a sturdy, correctly-sized cardboard box, secure tightly with tape, and compare courier/freight services like FedEx, UPS, or specialized movers ( uShip, Pak Mail ), considering options like pallet delivery or white-glove service for large items and comparing costs.

Shipping from the USA to Kenya costs vary widely, from around $30 for small, slow parcels (USPS) up to $200+ for fast couriers (FedEx/UPS), with air freight around $30-$50/kg and sea freight cheaper for large items, often priced by size (cubic feet/meter). Expect $15-$25 for 1-2 lb packages, $70-$120 for 5kg, and $100-$180+ for 20kg via sea, but always get quotes, considering speed, weight, dimensions, and potential customs duties.
