it's because shippers like ups and fedex can seriously price segregate as their marginal cost is miniscule compared to their overall (average) cost for delivering a package. let's start the penoff shipping company. dan penoff goes to walmart and buys a huffy bicycle with a big baskets for $100.

I am well aware of how they do it - it's the poor sap who is paying $35 for the little envelope to get there tomorrow morning by 10:00 am that's more or less subsidizing the rest of the business. With FedEx, you also have the added benefit of contracting some services out, like FedEx Ground.
