Mattress Shipping Cost from St. Charles, Missouri to San Antonio, Texas

Shipping a 50 lb package costs roughly $40 to $90 for ground services, varying greatly by distance, carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed, and if you use flat rates or discounts, with USPS Ground Advantage often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive cross-country, plus potential surcharges for heavy items. For example, short-haul USPS might be ~$38, while cross-country UPS could reach ~$72 plus fees, or you could find FedEx Ground around $70.

Shipping a 300 lb package costs a significant amount, generally ranging from under $200 to over $1,000, depending heavily on distance (local vs. interstate), carrier ( UPS / FedEx vs. freight), speed (ground vs. overnight), and using discount platforms like PirateShip, with rates potentially starting around $135-$160 for ground and increasing for faster/longer shipments. USPS can't handle items this heavy, so it's often UPS, FedEx, or LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight carriers.

To ship a mattress out of state, package it in a heavy-duty mattress bag, use a specialized box or wrap, compress it with a vacuum bag if possible, and ship via freight, specialized furniture shippers (like uShip, Shiply), or standard carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx), though expect high costs and compare quotes for the best price/service. Consider if selling/replacing might be cheaper than shipping, especially for older mattresses.
