Tried shipping anything lately? Prices are insane

Put together a box of stuff for a classifieds sale that came in at 65lbs. Not that’s not an overnight letter, but UPS wants over $140 and Fed Ex was nearly $160. That’s usually going to be a deal killer when you’re just selling used parts.
I recently sent my heads out for rebuilding... $100 there, $100 back. Cams and rockers were about half that. Lotta places want a standard $14.50 shipping fee to send something that could practically go in an envelope. Kills a lot of sales I’m sure... $5 part, $12+ to ship. Nope.
Anyone know if shipping has in fact grown faster than inflation in last 10 years or so? Sure seems like it.
