I ship a lot of stuff by USPS which lately has been the cheapest of all. But
FEDEX has been the easiest and not much more.

Just a note. When I've used the online thing to figure shipping costs, on
every site (USPS has online estimating too) the price quoted was
outrageously high, but when I actually got the box to the drop off, the
price was usually less than 1/2 to 1/3 of the online price. Especially when
it involved big bulky boxes.
