Almost every shipper has sweet spots when it comes to weight and dimensions so it definitely pays to shop around. Certain things to certain places just come back outrageously priced for unknown reasons. Where you are shipping it to, depending on the carrier, makes a big difference.

Then there's who can get something where, when, and at what price. USPS Priority Mail to the West Coast is MUCH faster then UPS ground for often a very similar price. UPS costs more then USPS to ship a package around the North East US, but it's almost a guaranteed next day delivery.
