I agree with My6speedZ. UPS and Fedex screw you over on shipping rates compared to US Postal

Edit: Experience from shipping probably 4 intake manifolds.

There are some differences, the biggest advantage is when shipping large lighter weight items such as a spoiler is a large box. USPS will actually charge you less due to the weight, where as ups or FedEx charges you based off of the dimensions of the box. Not to mention UPS will only insure something if THEY pack it. Which means they are going to rip you a new ******* is packing material costs as well.
