Knowing what is being shipped would be helpful. And “cheapest and best” are often contradictory terms at odds with each other.

If you're shipping "normal" size packages, pirateship.com is the way to go. They check both USPS and UPS for the lowest price on domestic shipping, including some cubic rates and non-public rates. I just sent a 5 pound box from NY to LA and paid $24. The retail counter rate was about $52.
They also have good international rates that use a mail forwarder, but there's something like a 4 pound max.
There's no charge to use the service, so there's really no reason not to use it, as long as you have a printer and decent tape for the label.
