Northbound and southbound match
The zone between two ZIPs reads the same in either direction, so sending winter clothes down in November prices like sending them back in April. One quote covers your mental math for both trips.
Up the I-95
Shipping from Florida to New York
Half the packages on this lane are family boxes: things left behind, things sent ahead, snowbird logistics in cardboard form. The good news for all of them is that Miami to Manhattan is one of the better-priced long lanes in the country, and the numbers below prove it.

The East Coast express lane
Thirteen hundred miles that ship like a regional hop, per the windows carriers returned on 2026-07-27.
Miami 33101 to New York 10001, quoted 2026-07-27
We priced a 12 by 10 by 6 inch box at 5 lb, a typical care-package size, and recorded every rate the calculator surfaced. The table is untouched from what a buyer would have seen.
| Carrier | Service | Price | Quoted window |
|---|---|---|---|
| USPS | Ground Advantage | $15.12 | 3-4 business days |
| UPS | Ground Saver | $15.49 | about 5 business days |
| UPS | Ground | $15.67 | 3-4 business days |
| UPS | 3 Day Select | $22.81 | 3-4 business days |
| UPS | 2nd Day Air | $23.99 | 2-3 business days |
Curious footnote from quote day: this corridor and Dallas to Los Angeles returned matching prices row for row, because both ZIP pairs happen to occupy the same zone band. Also notice 3 Day Select quoting the same window as regular Ground for seven dollars more; on a lane this quick, the premium tiers struggle to justify themselves.
Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville
Central and northern Florida sit closer to New York than Miami does, and Jacksonville in particular can fall a zone nearer. If you're not shipping from the southern tip, your rate may run under this table.
Heat is the quiet enemy
Chocolate, candles, vinyl and cosmetics ride hot trailers out of Florida most of the year. For meltables, the shorter windows earn their cost in July even when the calendar doesn't demand speed.
Florida to New York questions
How much does it cost to ship from Florida to New York?
Between $15.12 and $23.99 for our 12 x 10 x 6 in, 5 lb box on 2026-07-27, depending on service. USPS Ground Advantage set the floor at $15.12 with a 3-4 business day window from Miami to Manhattan.
How long does a package take from Miami to New York?
Ground was quoted at 3-4 business days on this lane, which is fast for thirteen hundred miles. UPS 2nd Day Air trimmed it to 2-3 days for $23.99, a premium few packages on this route genuinely need.
Which carrier is best for Florida to New York?
On price, USPS took our snapshot at $15.12, with UPS Ground close behind at $15.67 and the same 3-4 day window. The right pick often comes down to which drop-off sits closer to you when the spread is this thin.
Does hurricane season affect shipping on this route?
It can. Carriers pause pickups and stretch windows around named storms, usually with alerts posted a day or two ahead. Quotes made during an active advisory reflect the adjusted timing, one more reason to price on the day you ship.
