Mattress Shipping Cost from Paris to Luanda

Standard air freight between France and the US generally takes around 8-10 days. It's not that planes are slower; it comes down to the fact that air freight processes are more complicated than for express freight. Express air freight services typically shaves 2-3 days off standard air freight transit times.

The cheapest way to ship to France depends on weight, but for small, light items (under 4 lbs), USPS First-Class Package International is often cheapest but slow, while for heavier or urgent needs, using a discount broker like Parcel Monkey or Easyship to compare carriers (USPS, DHL, UPS, FedEx) or trying Meest for heavy items by sea offers significant savings.

Yes, La Poste does ship to the US, but they temporarily suspended most parcel services in late August 2025 due to new US customs duties on low-value imports (ending the $800 exemption) and administrative burdens, with only personal gifts under $100 likely still going through, though some users reported significant delays or holds on even those packages as of late 2025. While letters and documents can still be sent, large-scale parcel shipping from France to the US remains difficult and subject to new customs paperwork and potential sender-paid tariffs, with no clear restart date announced for full service as of late 2025.
