No UPS Ground, Fed Ex Ground yes, will likely be more than Amtrak.

Over last 6 months had success with Amtrak, 3-4 days, the rates were about 25% less than Fed Ex and for the real benefit....

The insurance for the shipment is much less than Fed Ex's rates. To insure the full value of a board on Amtrak was about $7.00, worth every penny.

Shipping with Amtrak will pass through less terminals than Fed Ex, less people shuffling the package around, less likely to get damaged.....

.... but...the left coast IS the right coast (except in November and maybe December).
