Shipping calculator

I am confused!! When entering data into the shipping calculator there is no option to enter actual box sizes. So, for example if I am using USPS Priority I can only enter the weight ie 5 lbs. But, if I get a rate check from the USPS site I have to enter the actual dimensions. As a test I used the same weight, but two different box sizes that are over 1728 inches but under 10,125 inches. Both would be classified as “large boxes” on the listing site. On the USPS site I get two different costs to ship to the same zip code. An 18×18×12 box costs $44.05 and a 14×14×14 box costs $36. I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas? Thanks
