Shipping cost comparisons

[DurocShark]

Comparison between FedEx, UPS and USPS:

Package info:
Shipped from 89010 to 92801 (Nevada to California) on December 31, 2004.
Weight: 38.8 lbs
Dimensions: 24x16x22
Value: $75


FedEx Home Delivery® Delivery in 2 business days $11.73

USPS Parcel Post 3 Day(s) $11.60 (no insurance) (Oddly enough, media mail was more expensive!)

UPS - The stupid website refuses to give me a ground price, so it's not fair to compare here:
UPS 2nd Day Air®
Guaranteed by: By End of Day
Tuesday January 4, 2005
Billable Weight: 44.0 lbs.

$49.27

So, to summarize, the price differences are small, really. It all boils down to preference and convenience.
