To ground ship via UPS, I believe that the weight has to be less than 80 pounds. If you ship without a cardboard box, i.e. just tape the boards together, there is an additional charge. Last time I shipped this way the extra charge was $9. Unless you have a UPS business account, wood will cost you a bit over $1 per pound to ship from my experience.

Hi Tim ,
I didn't think of using UPS/FED-EX for the wood I sent. I just assumed it would be more than USPS flat rate. Would have been interesting to check cost difference. John.

I recently had two boards shipped to me from Ohio (I'm in NH). Each board was about 8' X 2" X 9" and total shipping cost via UPS was $55. They wrapped them in cardboard with double layers on the ends and taped it up pretty well. It arrived without incident.
