5-6 years ago ALL the shippers (including USPS) changed to "volumetric pricing" where the size of the box determines the price instead of the weight. Being a manufacturer of light weight but large plastic items my shipping costs tripled in some cases so the cost of shipping was more than the cost of my parts. I tried Fedex, UPS, and USPS online calculators and UPS was the worst - my $12 part would be charged the same shipping as a 47 pound part because of the box size. $38. Fedex charged me $8.
