After Visalia, I shipped my planes home in a Sport Tube to Minneapolis which weighed 23 pounds.
UPS Ground: $68 at a UPS Store Fed Ex Home Delivery: $37 (Same package) I have not experienced any problems with Fed Ex Home Delivery if the item is packed properly inside and out.

I was at one of these stores and shipped a 9lb. medium sized package for about $12.00. (it would have cost about $7.50 for FedEx ground) I had packed it myself and also had a significant discount for having an account at the store. A guy came in with a speedometer assembly for a classic car and let the store do the packing and supply the materials. This object was about 5lbs and slightly larger than a bread box. They charged him $28.00 to box and ship it from Phx. to L.A. It was a standard 5 day shipment. I am not willing to pay that much to send or receive a package.
