I really don't think the two boards exceed 4 oz much less 14. He left a field blank on the info screen. Go back and make a selection for EVERY field and you should be fine. The form does not make assumptions.

Don't know about CO .but cross country to NJ It seems to me that USPS pretty consistently beats UPS with 1st class or Priority mail. on a price and performance basis.
