Shipping paddles between Cali and O'ahu

I'm trying to send a couple of paddles to O'ahu, but am getting mixed quotes on shipping costs. I know weight and size are all factors. If anyone has shipped paddles between Cali and O'ahu before, can you shoot me some information as to how much it was for you. I'm looking for the most reasonable way to accomplish this. I appreciate any and all information.

Get Bike Box and crease / fold it + 1" larger than the paddle in length, width and height.

Send USPS PRIORITY ( 3-4 days ) from Cali to Hawaii but use UPS " Ground" ( 2 business days to SoCal, 5 business days nearly everywhere else ) to send from Hawaii to Cali.

Mail / Ship it yourself.

FedEx " Ground" a couple dollars cheaper than UPS Ground going back to Cali but takes 8 business days vs. 2/5.

Also very EZ to set up Online account and print labels ... This saves a little more money.

DO NOT SEND USPS Parcel Post ...

If you want to go cheaper either way, you can wrap paddle and send sans box.
