Mattress Shipping Cost from Shanghai to Quito

Ocean freight from Shanghai to the USA takes 15 to 40 days (port-to-port), depending on the type of load (FCL or LCL) and the port of arrival – West Coast is generally faster to reach from China than East Coast ports. Air freight is much faster, with expedited options ranging from 1 to 3 days.

To send a package to Ecuador, choose a reliable carrier like DHL, FedEx, or USPS for speed, compare their express/economy options for 1-10+ days delivery, prepare for potential Ecuadorian customs (detailed addresses needed!), and consider services like MyUS or Qwintry for consolidation, or even "mule" services for items from Amazon if you're in a pinch, but always check carrier restrictions and customs forms carefully.

Shipping a 40ft container from China to the USA generally costs $3,000 to $7,000+, varying significantly by port (West Coast cheaper than East Coast), carrier, market demand (peak seasons cost more), fuel surcharges, and included services (port-to-port vs. door-to-door), with rates fluctuating seasonally but often falling in the $3,000-$4,500 range during off-peak times. Expect higher costs for East Coast destinations and potentially extra charges for customs, inland transport, and peak demand.
