Oklahoma prices as south-central middle distance — the coasts nearly tie, and the ground tiers hold a narrow spread on both runs below.
Real quotes, pulled 2026-07-27 for one specific box; the tables further down list the route and carrier behind every price.
One packed box, priced for real: 12 × 10 × 6 in at 5 lb of household goods, sent through the SMKlog calculator to Oklahoma City from each coast on the date above. Both tables came straight back from the carriers, and the figure in every row is the whole checkout price, label plus SMKlog's charge, with nothing billed afterward.

Newark and Los Angeles produced the same floor on this route: $15.12 for USPS Ground Advantage from either coast. OKC and Tulsa fall into matching zone bands when the origin is far away, so a Tulsa-bound label should land near these numbers too. Still, quotes age fast. Carriers reprice week to week and a different box changes everything, so check your own ZIP pair before planning around these rows.
Carriers charge by whichever is larger: actual weight or a number computed from the box's volume. A big carton of pillows gets billed like bricks. If the contents allow a smaller box, the quote often drops a tier along with it.
From Newark, USPS Ground Advantage holds the cheapest row at $15.12 with a 6-7 day window, while UPS Ground Saver quotes 5 business days for 37 cents more. Small money sometimes buys real time. Both columns are printed so you can make that call per shipment.
Type what the item is in plain words and SMKlog estimates the packed box for you. Have exact dimensions already, enter those instead. Either way you get live USPS, UPS and FedEx prices side by side, and every label carries tracking.
