Best way to determine shipping charges

I recently listened to an episode of Steve Guttenberg’s “Audiophiliac Podcast,” in which he interviewed an audiophile with 20+ years at UPS.  Great info on packaging components for sale, well worth seeking out if you’re a shipping novice like me.

I’m wondering if there’s a “best” technique for figuring out shipping charges.  I know there are general guidelines on the carriers’ websites, but are there other ways to determine fairly precise charges?  I have a few items I plan to sell this summer.  I don’t want to gouge anyone, but I don’t want to lose $$ in the process, either.

You can negotiate with the buyer that he or she pay actual shipping costs, but there's no site that I know of that will give all the options like travel sites.

if you have a Fedex account, all you have to do is do a Estimate Shipping and just 

input the info and it will give you a pretty good idea of what shipping charges will be.
