Mattress Shipping Cost from Rochester, New York to Los Angeles, California

The cheapest way to ship a mattress involves compressing it (if foam/memory foam) into a smaller box using a vacuum sealer and using USPS Ground Advantage or FedEx/UPS Ground for budget carriers, but always compare quotes, as prices vary by distance and carrier, often favoring FedEx/UPS for heavier items unless it's a short distance where USPS might win, using services like Shiply or Freight for large/heavy items if DIY fails.

The cheapest way to ship a mattress is UPS Ground, which costs ~$130 for short distances (~130 miles) and ~$210 for cross-country shipping. The fastest way to ship a mattress is UPS Next Day Air Early or FedEx First Overnight, with delivery by the next morning for $392-1,520 depending on distance.

Shipping from New York to California takes 1-7+ business days, depending heavily on the service: express/priority (1-3 days), standard ground (2-5 days), or budget/economy (5-8+ days), with options from USPS, FedEx, and UPS offering different speeds like Priority Mail (2-3 days), FedEx Ground (1-5 days), and budget options like USPS Ground Advantage (2-5 days) or FedEx SmartPost (3-8 days).
