Mattress Shipping Cost from Vancouver to Taipei

The cheapest way to ship a mattress involves compressing it (if foam/memory foam) into a smaller box using a vacuum sealer and using USPS Ground Advantage or FedEx/UPS Ground for budget carriers, but always compare quotes, as prices vary by distance and carrier, often favoring FedEx/UPS for heavier items unless it's a short distance where USPS might win, using services like Shiply or Freight for large/heavy items if DIY fails.

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.

While 90% of everything is shipped by ocean freight, air freight connects the world faster, cutting Taiwan - Canada freight shipping time from 20-30 days by ocean to only three days by air cargo. International air freight and express freight shipments are not the same things.
