You can get prices there based on the parameters you enter. For example, I used the following parameters for a package.........
Express/Overnight service
ORIGIN 40299 (Louisville, KY)
DEST 07054 (Parsippany, NJ-SGC)
3 pounds, 0 ounces
$5000 insured value (maximum USPS will allow for express mail)
-----
USPS Express Mail came in at $70.05 total ($21.05 transportation, $49.00 insurance costs)
-----
Fedex Priority Overnight came in at $55.13 ($30.13 transportation, $25.00 insurance costs)
-----
UPS Next Day Air came in at $48.03 ($30.88 transportation, $17.15 insurance costs)
-----
Only difference is that UPS and Fedex will both guarantee delivery by 10:30 or your money back (think that would only be for transportation portion of that quote) and USPS will only guarantee delivery by end of day (believe it's money back as well).
