<p>What’s the best way to go about this? USPS, UPS, or FedEx? I also need to get boxes, any tips for that? Urgh.</p>

<p>Do you have a UPS office close by? It should have boxes.</p>

<p>Liquor stores often have larger, sturdy, free boxes. Their deliveries tend to be early in the week, after the weekend. U-Hauls also sell boxes in all shapes and sizes.</p>

<p>If there is a UPS store nearby, you can buy the box, they will pack the stuff, etc.</p>

<p>“Their deliveries tend to be early in the week”</p>

<p>Bet you didn’t find that out because you wanted boxes, though…</p>

<p>We’ve found Fedex Ground to have the best competitive prices. D shipped 3 boxes from LA to Philly on Saturday morning…19 lbs, 12 lbs, 9 lbs…for $37…scheduled to arrive this Weds. D is flying out on Friday.</p>

<p>You can also check the grocery store for boxes. </p>

<p>you can go to UPS website:</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.ups.com/[/url]”>http://www.ups.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You can plug in your information and they will give you an estimate on shipping charges and delivery times. You can do everything on line, they come to your home to pick up your stuff and it does not get better than that.</p>

<p>FedEx Ground is really cheap. I sent a 35 pound box home from my summer program (1650 miles) for around $20.</p>

<p>Sent about 60 pounds of boxing (39 and 21) to Georgetown today, will receive by next Tuesday at the latest. Cost: $66.</p>
