Mattress Shipping Cost from Rio de Janeiro to Johannesburg

What is the Cheapest Way to Ship a Mattress? As we saw above, the cheapest way to ship is using ground services of UPS, USPS or FedEx. There is always a price fluctuation and it's better if you check each one of them individually.

Shipping costs to South Africa vary wildly, from as low as $10-$20 for small, light items via budget options like USPS First Class International, to over $100 for faster services like FedEx or UPS for a 2lb package, with final costs depending on weight, speed (economy vs. express), size, carrier (USPS, DHL, FedEx, UPS), and potential customs/VAT fees. Budget options (1-2 weeks) can be under $30, while express (2-5 days) can range from $50-$180+, requiring a quote tool for accurate pricing.

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.
