You are paying way too much for UPS! I'm guessing you were using a PakMail or UPS Store, as they charge 30-40% over regular UPS book rate! Something is seriously wrong with the FedEx shipment, as I use both and FedEx is generally the same to 10% less, depending on location. I mean I paid less than $40 for Fl to OR, which is the absolute farthest from point A to point B in the continental US!
I've shipped four guitars in the past 15 months FedEx Ground Service.

-Florida to Indiana insured for $2500.................$32
-Florida to California insured for $2500...............$34
-Florida to Chicago insured for $2000..................$37
I shipped two guitars UPS in the past 12 months:
