As with Canada Post, there will be increased prices for certain sizes, weights and distances. Most post is worked out in terms of zip code, rather than just being charged more to go to Canada. Mail for just over the border will be cheaper to send than mail to the furthest northern regions of somewhere like the Yukon.
You should also be aware there are size limitations with the common postal services. Often they will only allow large packages at high cost, or in special circumstances such as business post. Always read the size limits before you attempt postage.
