Appliances Shipping Cost from Jackson, Tennessee to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Shipping a 50-pound box typically costs between $40 and $130+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (FedEx Ground, UPS Ground, or USPS Ground Advantage are common choices), and any discounts, with FedEx often slightly cheaper for heavy items, while USPS can be good for shorter distances. For faster options, expect costs to jump significantly to over $100, sometimes much more.

To calculate UPS shipping costs, use the UPS website's "Calculate Time & Cost" tool, providing origin/destination ZIP codes, package weight, and dimensions (Length x Width x Height), remembering to round up measurements and always use the greater of the actual weight or dimensional weight (calculated by dividing cubic inches by 166 for domestic) for your billable weight; then select your service (Ground, Express, etc.) to get a quote, as rates vary by service, distance (zone), and surcharges.

The cheapest way to ship large packages domestically is via UPS and USPS ground services, booked through shipping platforms at discounted rates. Shipping platforms offer lower rates than direct carrier pricing, but they typically don't guarantee delivery times or provide compensation for delays.
