Cheapest way to ship large packages to another US state

The cheapest way to ship large packages within the US is via one of our Parcel Monkey Ground services provided by FedEx or our discounted UPS Ground service. The transit time will be longer than an expedited service, but if your package isn't time-sensitive, ground services are the most cost-effective method of transport for large packages.
