Maybe I'm just completely stupid when it comes to this stuff, but everytime i go to get a shipping quote online from ups, fedex, dhl, usps, etc.... Its like 15 bucks for ground shipping on a box the size of a microchip that weighs half an ounce

What am I doing wrong

 

Might just be a base line limit they use on thier site. For something that size you could have it shipped cheaper via USPS. However I hate USPS, customer service sucks, lines sucks and my boxed get beat to hell. I'd go to a FedEX location if you have one close IMO. Maybe they will ship it cheaper.
