Or, if you know the weight, origin zip, and destination zip, you can check the real UPS shipping costs (not the inflated shipping + "handling" charge that most mail order places charge).  

Go check out the quick cost calculator at http://www.ups.com/using/services/rave/rate.html, or download a Windows version of the QCC at http://www.ups.com/using/software/quikintro.html.  You may not get a better rate from the mail order place, but at least you'll know whether and how much they're gouging you.

OK, I admit I work for UPS and I do have a vested interest here, but these really are helpful utilities.
