The cheapest way to ship boxes to another state depends on weight and contents: USPS is usually best for lighter boxes (under 10-20 lbs) with options like Ground Advantage or Media Mail (for books/media), while UPS and FedEx Ground are often cheaper for heavier items (over 20 lbs), especially if you can use their discounted rates, with comparison sites and online discounts crucial for the best price. For a few heavy boxes, UPS/FedEx ground might win; for many light ones, USPS often does.
