Mattress Shipping Cost from Nairobi to Dallas, Texas

Shipping from Kenya to the USA varies widely, with air freight costing roughly $4.40 - $13+ per kg (cheaper for bulk, pricier for small parcels) and sea freight for containers starting around $3,000-$6,000+, depending on volume and urgency, plus potential customs fees and surcharges. Smaller, urgent parcels might see prices from $9-$20 for 1-2kg via premium couriers, while larger or heavier shipments get better per-kg rates.

For the absolute cheapest shipping from the USA to Kenya, especially for smaller items, USPS Priority Mail International or economy options via comparison sites like Parcel Monkey and Easyship are your best bet, offering rates from around $30-$70+ for lighter parcels with 1-3 week delivery. For larger or heavier items, sea freight (ocean shipping) is far more cost-effective than air, though slower (45+ days), while air cargo from specialists like Kentex Cargo or Nile Cargo Carrier can be cheap by weight ($10-$15/kg) if you're shipping a lot.

Shipping a 20-foot container to Kenya typically costs $4,500–$7,900; 40-foot containers range from $6,800–$11,200 depending on origin. Average delivery to Mombasa or Nairobi ports takes 5–8 weeks, including ocean transit, customs clearance, and inland coordination.
