Mattress Shipping Cost from Port Moresby to San Diego, California

Shipping a 40ft container can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars for local moves to over $10,000 internationally, with general ranges often falling between $2,500 - $10,000+ for major international routes, varying greatly by distance, market demand, fuel, and container type (standard vs. high-cube/reefer). Domestic moves are significantly cheaper, potentially $3,000 or less, while Asia to North America might be $3,000-$5,000, but Europe or Oceania can exceed $10,000-$20,000.

Shipping a 40ft container from China to the USA typically costs $3,000 to $7,000, but prices fluctuate significantly based on the US coast (West Coast cheaper), seasonality (peak times higher), port pair, and current surcharges, with potential for higher costs during peak demand. Expect rates from roughly $3,000–$6,000 for the West Coast and $4,000–$7,500 for the East Coast, excluding destination charges like customs and inland transport.

Shipper owned containers require a shipper survey along with the purchase of the container. Amongst other things, the shipping container survey verifies that the shipper owned container has a valid or current CSC certificate for overseas shipping.
