I live in a rural area in the lower 48 and USPS won't deliver here. We have to go to a physical post office and stand in lame lines to get packages. We also have to pay an annual fee for the PO Box, and sometimes there are waiting lists.

FedEx and UPS happily deliver to my front door, 25 miles and down a long dirt road from the nearest town.

What's the shipping cost, though? It's great that it's a real option either way.

No cost difference from other address destinations in the rest of the state.

Context: USPS-enforced PO Box in Wisconsin, but house-delivery by private companies such as FedEx and UPS.

mkempt is right. There's no premium shipping cost vs any other FedEx/UPS destination.
