I had a different experience. I already had one of those "bazooka" rod storage cases. (Flambeau 5872 Bazuka 38-72 Rod Case )
We were headed to Cape Cod, and I shipped them 2 weeks early to the motel we were going to stay at. I only paid $18.00 USPS ground to ship them, in 2008.
Prices are up, I know, and some folks don't want to ship that far in advance.
Borrow a tube, take it in to a UPS, and see what they quote ya if it goes "slow boat to China mode". In my opinion, FEDEX is just crazy high. I just raqn an example on the USPS page, of a 46 inch long x 4 inch tube (2 piece rods?) that weighed 5 pounds and from Etown KY to Orlano Florida via Priority Mail, taking 4-5 days to get there, and at the post office it said it would cost $14.05
