There is a $2 upcharge on FedEx Ground for residential delivery,
iirc.  More if you need it delivered in a specific time window or
with signature confirmation.  But it's still less than most other
methods, expecially for heavy stuff.

If you go to the FedEx Ground web site, they have the rate
differentials.
