What are the average standard shipping costs for FedEx? And what are the average 2-day expedited shipping costs for FedEx?

I don't think that "Standard Shipping" is FedEx Ground, I imagine it is SmartPost.  I also don't think that "expedited shipping" is 2day express, I believe it's FedEx Ground, otherwise the seller either has amazing rates or is shipping at a loss (and the shipment weighs nothing). For averages, we get around ~40% discount (which is somewhat high) to Ground, 2Day, and 3Day, our absolute base rates (1lb, zone 2) average at: Home Delivery (Residential Ground): $10 FedEx Ground (Commercial): $7 2 Day Express: $14 (w/ residential surcharge) 3 Day Express: $13 (w/ residential surcharge) That's not counting fulfillment fees and packaging, which for a large company is usually around a $3 minimum. SmartPost on the other hand starts at maybe $2 on average for small packages (with high volume) - we don't ship it so I don't have any base averages, just estimating from my previous experience at a 3PL.  There's other costs associated with SmartPost, so the true cost is a bit higher. FedEx Ground is a 1-5 day delivery method which can be guaranteed to a specific timeframe, so there's a good chance it's guaranteed 2 day delivery (to your zip code, or any zip code depending on their distribution centers) and is easily called expedited.  SmartPost on the other hand is usually 3-10 days and can be called standard.  They can really call them anything they want.  We call FedEx Ground "overnight" when it is guaranteed by FedEx to be, we just say it delivers by "End of Day". Hope that's helpful, the vagueness of the question (even with the description update) isn't enough to go on really.
