Mattress Shipping Cost from St. Petersburg, Florida to San Jose, California

Mail from Florida to California typically takes 2 to 5 business days for standard services like First-Class or Ground Advantage, but can be as fast as 1-3 days with Priority Mail, depending on the carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), specific service, and factors like weekends, holidays, and processing centers. East-to-West Coast mail usually falls towards the longer end of this range (4-5 days for First Class) due to distance, with faster options available for quicker delivery.

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.
