A few dollars buys a lot of days
From Newark, UPS Ground at $15.67 quoted 3-4 business days against 6-7 for the cheapest row at $15.12. Fifty-five cents for roughly three days is the sort of bargain the transit column exists to reveal.

The carton you have is probably fine
Reused boxes are welcome if they are rigid and old markings are covered. Keep it snug, though. The rate follows the outside of the box, and dead air inside is the most expensive thing you can ship.

Shipping to Mississippi: common questions
What does it cost to ship a package to Mississippi?
Jackson quotes for our 12 × 10 × 6 in, 5 lb test box on 2026-07-27 bottomed out at $15.12 from Newark and $15.91 from Los Angeles. Those are finished totals, label plus SMKlog charge. Your own box will quote differently, so check it live.
How long does delivery to Mississippi take?
The cheapest tier quoted 6-7 business days from both coasts on our run, and UPS Ground from Newark cut that to 3-4. Every window in the tables is the carrier's own figure for this specific route.
Which service costs the least to Mississippi?
Both directions went to USPS Ground Advantage when we tested, at $15.12 and $15.91. The margin over second place was thin, under forty cents from Newark, so on another day the ranking could easily invert. Compare before you buy.
