Shipping a 50 lb package costs roughly $40 to $90 for ground services, varying greatly by distance, carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed, and if you use flat rates or discounts, with USPS Ground Advantage often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive cross-country, plus potential surcharges for heavy items. For example, short-haul USPS might be ~$38, while cross-country UPS could reach ~$72 plus fees, or you could find FedEx Ground around $70.

Can I ship a mattress through FedEx? Yes, you can. If you're shipping a mattress, you must pack it in a mattress shipping box. We also recommend that you pack it in heavy-duty plastic before you box and ship it.

For the absolute cheapest international shipping, especially for light items (under 4 lbs), USPS First-Class Package International Service is the winner, starting around $15-$18, though it's slow (weeks). For slightly heavier or faster needs, GlobalPost Economy offers great value for <4.4 lbs, while platforms like Shippo and Easyship provide significant discounts on FedEx, UPS, and DHL for small businesses, balancing speed and cost effectively.
