Appliances Shipping Cost from Ann Arbor, Michigan to San Antonio, Texas

Size of the Mail or Package With First Class mail, packages need to weigh less than 15.99 oz and these packages usually arrive within 2-3 days of sending. You'll need to bump up to Priority Mail for anything over 15.99 ounces, and you can expect the package to arrive at its destination within 1-3 days.

To calculate shipping costs, determine your total expenses (postage, packaging, labor, fees) and use carrier tools (USPS, UPS) with package details (weight, dimensions, origin, destination) to get real-time rates, then decide on a strategy like flat-rate, real-time calculated, or "free" shipping (by baking cost into item price).

Shipping a 20 lb package can cost from around $20-$40 for ground services (like UPS Ground or FedEx Ground/Ground Advantage for shorter distances) up to $100+ for expedited services, with exact prices depending heavily on distance (zone), speed (overnight vs. ground), carrier ( USPS, UPS, FedEx), and any discounts used. USPS Ground Advantage or UPS Ground are typically cheapest, while overnight options are significantly more expensive.
