Mattress Shipping Cost from Sydney to Freetown

Can I ship a mattress through FedEx? Yes, you can. If you're shipping a mattress, you must pack it in a mattress shipping box. We also recommend that you pack it in heavy-duty plastic before you box and ship it.

Shipping furniture is expensive, typically costing $300 to over $1,000 for cross-country moves, varying greatly by size, weight, distance, and service, with small items like chairs sometimes costing $50-$200 via parcel, while large sofas can be $300-$1,500+ using LTL freight or specialized movers. Expect higher prices for long distances, heavy items, and white-glove services, but save money with disassembly or freight consolidation.

Courier charges per kg vary widely by distance, destination (domestic/international), speed, and provider, but generally start low for local/light items (e.g., under 1kg) and increase significantly with weight and distance, with international shipping costing much more (e.g., ₹1,500-₹3,000+ for 1kg to the US from India) than domestic (e.g., ₹70-₹100+/kg in India for inter-state). Expect tiered pricing, where heavier parcels (10+ kg) have a higher per-kg rate than smaller ones, and always check volumetric weight vs. actual weight.
