Red Roller is a shipping comparison site that allows you to enter your package details into the Red Roller engine and Red Roller then gives you a price and service comparison for USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL.
The service is still in beta, but it looks very promising especially since it integrates with eBay and allows you to print postage from the carrier of your choice.
The service is also free.

From the Red Roller Web Site:
We're the world's first Internet-based shopping service for shipping packages, and as if that's not enough, RedRoller is FREE.

You might say RedRoller is a revolution in the evolution of shipping!
