I shipped some phone dials by FedEx and the total was 100 less than UPS. something like $40 per 2

grey hound 69.79
fed ex 88.00
UPS 98.00
is that right?

the 'one big box' will kill you on dimensional weight.
shipping them in pairs may bring the total down.

fuel is expensive and not going down - the cheap shipping days are over...

box size matters, mine were 18x18x18, and thus oversized for USPS
