I paid $68 via FedEx ground last August to ship a playfield with

The problem wasn't UPS in it-self, Rather the UPS " Store" , I'll
never use a UPS store to ship anything, The most I ever payed to ship
a PF was $ 50.00 for a Wide-body PF that weighed 48 pounds.

Yes, good point Del. It is a retail store that has to tack on $$$ to
what UPS is charging to make $$$ for themselves. I think Fed Ex is
still the way to go though cost-wise. Fed Ex guy said that you can
create your own account, and it'll cost you even less to ship with
them than without one (as Brian stated above).
