Mattress Shipping Cost from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Carson City, Nevada

Shipping a mattress is more complex and expensive than standard deliveries. Whether you're moving, selling mattresses online, or buying from a retailer, you're looking at costs ranging from $130-280 for ground shipping across the U.S., with premium services reaching $1,500+ for cross-country delivery.

Yes, you can ship a mattress through FedEx. FedEx requires you to pack your mattress in a proper mattress shipping box before having it shipped. FedEx allows large packages of up to 150 pounds to be shipped. If your package exceeds the weight limit, FedEx will charge a $100 oversize package fee.

Shipping a 50-pound box typically costs between $40 and $130+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (FedEx Ground, UPS Ground, or USPS Ground Advantage are common choices), and any discounts, with FedEx often slightly cheaper for heavy items, while USPS can be good for shorter distances. For faster options, expect costs to jump significantly to over $100, sometimes much more.
