For very little as rdw said flat rate boxes from Usps tend to be the lowest cost for heavy items. Though that’s debatable now with the most recent postage’s increases. But you can fit a few hundred dollars of 8086 CPUs ina small flat rate box and insure it for a few dollars more. And get two to three day shipping for it.
For up to a few hundred pounds Fedex is usually cheapest. Many many smaller boxes. Keep your boxes as rectangles (not cubes) and keep the longest side under 19 inches. Fedex prices by girth rather than weight (though weight is calculated for transport regulations). Fedex is literally like Tetris (or reverse Jinga). The more they can shove your boxes into nooks and crannies the lower your cost will be.
More than a few hundred lbs, in the Gaylord range, there’s a few truckers in the business section here offering discounted rates to haul less than truck load (LTL) for boardsort users.
