Wow. Just cost me $.29 more than that to ship a 52-pound package from 
near Albany, NY, to Austin, TX, via UPS Ground-Trac. That INCLUDED the 
$3.00 service charge from the local drug store chain that also offers 
shipping services. That service charge is less than it would have cost 
me to drive to the nearest UPS location, and probably less than it would 
have cost me to have UPS come pick up the package.

You better shop around....
