i use spee-dee delivery if i have to ship something locally 1-2 states away. they don't even measure the package like fed ex and ups do, for instance i sent a fairly large box (rc guys decathlon) from southern wisconsin to northern minnesota 34 lbs weight shipped for 10 bucks and guy got it next day after i dropped it off at spee-dee. spee dee only serves midwest area, i use ups for all other stuff, fed-ex is a genuine rip-off. check your area if there are alternative shipping companies in your area other fed ex and ups.
