In Ocala, FL I recently shipped a package to Michigan weighing 3 lbs in a 13" x 13" x 14" box. I believe UPS was $23.00 with $100 insurance, the post office was $18.00 with $50.00 ($20.50 with $100) insurance and FEDEX was $15.00 with $100 insurance. With UPS they charge extra in a rural area, the post office charges by zone and it seem FEDEX does not charge extra whether it goes across country and is in the sticks.

FEDEX has now earned my business if I ship out of the Florida area.
