Fed-Ex, UPS, or USPS... who is cheaper?

[AKL_Megs]

I have a larger package (a box about 12x18x9, weighing about 10lbs.) that I need to ship from Michigan to North Carolina. It's bigger than the USPS Flat Rate Boxes, so that is out.

Anyone know who ships for the cheapest? I don't need sign on delivery, or any special treatment. I need CHEAP!

Because it's really slow at work .. .. I did the rate calculators on all 3 sites. I used a zip code for Novi, MI and picked a random NC zip code. Priority through USPS was $15.15, FedEx home delivery was $11.46 and UPS ground was $12.49 It could change depending on where in NC you're shipping to, but I usually have the best luck with FedEx.

No problem! I work until midnight, and after about 9:00 I'm always looking for things to do instead of just staring at the ceiling at my desk.

I find, unless what you are shipping is very heavy, the USPS boxes are more expensive to ship.

I don't know how big what are shipping is, but I shipped a box the size of a box of copy paper -- a fairly large box. I shipped from Maryland to Syracuse, NY. It was filled with a bunch of stuff for my daughter who is in school. The box for 2 day delivery cost me about $13.50, which I thought was a pretty good deal.

DHL is another carrier to consider.
