Mattress Shipping Cost from Shenzhen to Antananarivo

Shipping from Shenzhen, China, varies drastically by method: Express (DHL/FedEx/UPS) takes 1-7 days, Air Freight is 2-15 days, while Sea Freight can range from 14 days to over 40 days, depending heavily on the destination (West Coast US is faster) and whether it's Full Container Load (FCL) or Less than Container Load (LCL). Factors like customs, holidays, and carrier efficiency also significantly impact total time.

Express shipping continues at $5–$10 per kg, with standard post around $10–$20 per kg. Delivery Times (September 2025): Sea freight to Lagos (Apapa/Tincan) remains at 48–52 days, with improved vessel scheduling compared to summer peaks. Air freight still averages 6–8 days, while express parcels reach Lagos in 3–5 days.

Shipping from China varies wildly, from a few dollars for small items via postal service (like USPS Priority Mail Express International from $30+) to $2,000-$6,000+ for full containers (FCL) by sea, while air freight usually costs $3-$8+ per kilogram; prices depend heavily on weight, size, speed (air vs. sea), and chosen carrier ( DHL, FedEx, UPS, EMS, freight forwarders). For small parcels, express couriers are faster but pricier, while standard air freight (150-500kg) or LCL (less than container load) sea freight offer better per-kilo rates for larger shipments.
