For example, short-haul USPS might be ~$38, while cross-country UPS could reach ~$72 plus fees, or you could find FedEx Ground around $70.

FCL shipping is ideal when you're moving large quantities. A 20-foot container typically ranges from $2,000–$3,500, while a 40-foot container may cost between $3,500–$6,000 in 2025, depending on the route and demand.
