Need shipping advice

I've never really shipped much out. I'm always a buyer not a seller. So what's the best route for the least amount in shipping. I've got a box to ship with Suzuki stuff in it but it looks like it's going to cost at least $50. What's the secret?
Thanks,
Tim

I don't think there is any secret these days honestly. We have daily UPS pickup at work, have an account, usually ship to other commercial addresses (which used to be cheaper because they would also get regular drop-offs and pickups unlike residential) and it costs a fortune to ship anything one or two zip codes away. This past (covid) year has been horrible. My projects have been getting hammered w/ in-bound shipping charges. It's to the point where I have recently added a line item on my quote costing development worksheets for in-bound shipping. Too large to ignore and absorb any longer.

Thanks, Ron. Seems like UPS ground is least expensive and I do have an account.
