DON - I shipped a 13 pound package last week.... not sure how many kilograms that is... think about Six kilo's. Destination was 250-275 miles away... that's 400 to 440 kilometers.... Cost was $27 US which I thought was terrible. Box was 22-3/4 inches X 18 inches X 15-1/4 inches That's 578mm X 457MM x 387mm.
Back in 1978 when I drove package car for UPS NOTHING had that high of shipping charge except air freight, UPS Red.
SON shipped a 5-6 pound package in a US Postal service express shipping box and it went to the west coast of the US if I remember right... It was $27 US too.
I agree, there is NO economical way to ship things anymore. Going across international borders or across mountain ranges is expensive any way you look at it. LOTS of places only use Fed-Ex anymore. Not sure how their rates compare.
