Shipping rates

I need to ship a small package from Canada to the US. This got me thinking. We have 18 million sites to compare hotels, vacations and so on but I can't think of one site that shows me the cheapest way to ship my package. Does anyone know of such a site that would show all my options based on size weight and so on? What a pain in the *** to go to each one and get a quote.

PS. there is a business idea for someone

UPS would surely buy out a site like this... if they didn't, no one would ever ship with the most expensive and aggravating company to ever exist. Why do people still use them?

UPS is only expensive here. It is stupid cheap in the states. It depends on the size of the item. Typically if its smallish, I normally ship Canada Post. If it is a big item, then Fedex is usually a good option. UPS isn't bad sometimes either if its going into the states. Sometimes depending on location one company might be cheaper then the other.

If small package, ship via Canada Post. If large parcel, then my option will be FedEx.
