I can send a pkg through the mail cheaper than UPS. UPS has varied charges depending on the market. PO is ONE SET PRICE THOUGH OUT THE US.

I remember a time when a Government contractor was the low bidder to build a concrete block building in a remote area in Alaska. None of the other contractors could figure out how to transport the concrete blocks to the area at a reasonable price. But, the successful contractor packaged each block in brown paper and sent them individually through the USPS.
