Mattress Shipping Cost from Shenzhen to Alexandria

Transit Times and Freight Rates For sea freight from Shenzhen to Los Angeles, transit times are approximately 14 days for Less than Container Load (LCL) and 11 days for Full Container Load (FCL). Conversely, shipping from Shenzhen to New York takes about 21 days for LCL and 30 days for FCL.

FCL shipping is ideal when you're moving large quantities. A 20-foot container typically ranges from $2,000–$3,500, while a 40-foot container may cost between $3,500–$6,000 in 2025, depending on the route and demand.

Shipping from China to California varies greatly: Express Air takes 3-10 days, Standard Air 8-20 days, while Sea Freight (Ocean) ranges from 13-40+ days, depending heavily on port-to-port time (around 13-25 days), customs, consolidation, and final delivery. Expect 2-4 weeks for most consumer air shipments and potentially 1-2 months for slower sea freight door-to-door, with port congestion adding significant delays.
