It doesn't in the UK. Packages sent by Royal Mail have a cost which is solely dependent upon their weight, not their destination (as long as the destination is within the UK.) It costs no more for me to send a package to someone who lives in the same village as me than to send the same package to the most remote Scottish Island. I don't know if that's the case in the US - perhaps someone can tell us?
