    30 bucks from Illinois to Florida using FedEx! I didn't even go to usps to get a price, I know they would have been a lot more money than that.

    Thats a damn cheap price! I tried to ship some rear plastics and UPS, FedEX and Post office were nuts.

    I think thats part of it, but I tried to ship to several places with the plastics and its just so big and bulky I couldnt get a cheap rate. Was gonna do greyhound but we dont have any nearby.

    Post office is REALLY bad for some things, IE it cost me 15 dollars to ship a box of 2 plastic jerry cans-but like 25 bucks to ship shocks..makes no real sense anymore.

    Yeah at the post office, several times I have had a nice guy working there inform me if I use one of their bigger boxes, it would actually be cheaper. Why would a bigger box cost less? I don't understand it either.

    shipping to a business is also cheaper than shipping to a residence.
