Shipping help

About to set up auction on ebay. The LEGO set box itself measures exactly 2" x 7.5" x 13.5". Weight: Unsure - this is for Friends "Flying Club" (set 3063), Amazon details on their page says 2 lbs, but I see references to 0.65 pounds elsewhere when I google on this set. Looks like I'm going to find a packing box to put the set in - what is a good amount of clearance on all sides? Which service would you use? (USPS, Fedex, UPS)? (below is sample pricing on shipment from Florida to South Carolina) According to this site (recommended by pickleboy - thanks!) http://shipgooder.com/ the cheapest non-ground service would be $11.35.. does that look right? Seems a bit high to me, but I was afraid of that, seeing how one length of the LEGO set is already over 12 inches to begin with. :-/ Edit: I think there's a bug with shipgooder.com - I chose "advanced options", put in dimensions with 2 inches added (4" x 10" x 16"), and on the next page, it was showing me $11.35 for US priority, but box dimensions was set to 12" x 12" x 12". I fixed that, setting values back to 4" x 10" x 16", and it says $5.35 now - is that correct?
