Mattress Shipping Cost from Perth to Zurich

Is shipping internationally expensive? International shipping rates are typically more expensive than domestic shipping rates. This is because of several factors, such as import taxes, customs duties, logistics, and fuel costs involved in delivering shipments overseas.

Shipping a 50 lb package typically costs anywhere from $40 to over $100, depending heavily on distance, speed, and carrier, with FedEx/UPS Ground being cheapest for long hauls (~$75-$85), USPS Ground Advantage for regional/short distances (~$38-$128 depending on zone/service), and faster services like FedEx 2Day costing around $65+. For heavy boxes, carriers apply extra fees, so compare FedEx Ground, UPS Ground, and USPS Ground Advantage, plus consider flat-rate options if the box is compact.

Shipping to Switzerland costs vary widely, from around $20-$30 for lightweight items via budget services (like Asendia or USPS First Class) to $40-$100+ for heavier parcels or faster options (FedEx, UPS, DHL), depending on speed, weight, and courier; expect faster, pricier services (2-5 days, ~$130+) versus slower, cheaper ones (1-3 weeks, ~$20-$70). Be aware of potential Swiss VAT (7.7%) and duties (avg. 3.5%) on imports over CHF 300.
