Default Cheapest way to ship large packages in US

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if you have any experience shipping large packages in the US. If so , what is the cheapest way to ship them? Each package is around 50x50x50 CM and from 3 to 5 KG.

Thanks!

Fedex Home Delivery or USPS. Check USPS Priority Flat Rate.

I have found that UPS ground works for me for those types of packages. But it will depend on your zone and also the zone of the address you are shipping to. Sometimes FedEx is cheaper.

FedEx or UPS ground is almost always the cheapest for items weighing over 4-5lbs. Unless they are small and fit in one of USPS Flat Rate Options.

In my experience FedEx Ground has been slightly cheaper. But the FedEx hub near me closed so I use UPS now because of convenience.

Never read that Lachelle is a multi-millionaire.

Have you any clue of what TNT will charge for parcels to Italy?

Then you are very incorrect to suggest TNT would offer a cheap method of sending gifts.
