In general, for an appliance shipping service, you can expect to pay around $1.81 per mile for shorter trips and $0.59 per mile for longer journeys.

The cheapest way to ship 50 lbs usually involves USPS Ground Advantage for shorter distances or slower speeds, while UPS/FedEx Ground are strong contenders (often better with discounts), especially using services like Pirate Ship for significant savings on commercial rates, or even freight / consolidated services if it's very heavy/large, always comparing options based on distance, speed, and if your item fits a flat-rate box.

Shipping a 20 lb package can cost from around $20 to over $100, depending heavily on the carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), distance, speed (Ground vs. Express), and if you use discounts or flat-rate options; expect roughly $20-$40 for Ground (USPS Ground Advantage, UPS Ground) and potentially $100+ for faster services, with USPS often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive for heavier or faster shipments.
