Need advice on sending phone and laptop to sailor

My son arrived at A School on Saturday. I need to ship him his cell phone and laptop. What is the best method?  FedEx, UPS or USPS???

    Hi GeauxTigers!!  I hate I missed meeting you at the M&G last Thursday, but wasn't the entire weekend the Best Ever!!!  I'm Still excited!!!  And...So Happy to talk/text/Skype with him!!!

    I just sent my son's laptop & accessories, laptop case, sweat shirts, T-shirts, and a few other items to him at NAS Pensacola today!  I took everything to Mailbox, Etc & they had the perfect box for it.  It was sent FedEx Ground (though I initially thought it was going USPS.) The total cost, including box, bubble wrap, and tax was $29.47. I was able to text him the Expected Arrival Date (this Friday) and the Tracking #.

    While out & about today, I stopped by our neighborhood Post Office to pick up a few Flat Rate boxes in case I choose to package future items at home. It just so happened that the biggest Flat Rate box wouldn't have been big enough for what I sent today.  Of course, I could have found some other box to use, but I decided on the easier, more convenient route for myself this time.  

    Hopefully, someone will come along and give better advice (which I'll be watching for) but I just wanted to share my experience!  Also, to say....Congratulations to you & your SAILOR!!!  So happy & proud of them All!!! :-)
