Mattress Shipping Cost from Yokohama to Niamey

Shipping from Japan to the US varies wildly, from around $20-$40 for small, light items (under 1kg) via Airmail/EMS to $100+ for heavy boxes, with costs depending heavily on weight, size (volumetric), speed (EMS is fast/pricier; Surface is slow/cheaper), and carrier (Japan Post vs. DHL/FedEx). Expect lighter items like books to cost $25-$40, while heavier personal effects could be $90-$250+.

If you need to ship to the US, you should use Yamato, DHL, UPS, FedEx, or some other private carrier. If that is not practical, refund your customers and cancel their orders. You can't control the USPS and this is not likely to get cleared up soon.

Luggage forwarding in Japan ( Takuhaibin ) generally costs ¥2,000 to ¥3,000 (roughly $13-$20 USD) for a standard suitcase (under 25kg), with prices varying by size, distance (airport to hotel is often cheaper than hotel to airport), and carrier like Yamato ( Kuroneko ) or JAL ABC. Expect overnight or same-day delivery for nearby cities, though longer distances or airports might take 1-2 days, making it a convenient way to travel light.
