Shipping costs for small items

[DANNY-L]

Shipping pirateship saves quite a bit, it's through usps and ups. With usps you can even use their flat rate boxes and save a couple dollars, you save more with your own box on lightweight items.

That's great, but how do you put 6x9x12 boxes in a mailbox?

Get a bigger mailbox? A Flat Rate envelope with a Small Flat Rate Box inside will fit inside a standard mailbox. Just like anything else in life, some things you have to just figure out.

OK, you answered that, but what do I do when I ship 2 and more?

Sounds like you need a shipping container for a mailbox :0)

Go on , set up and account--after that it is easy as Pie to go on and ship a pkg--you enter the address, the dims and weight and it will give you several options--USPS and UPS--or click Cheapest and it will give you that--hit buy label and print label, slap it on drop it off to post or UPS driver you see at lunch or UPS drop off points--those can be your local auto parts or drug store--it is not hard
You ship same way you would have anyway but you Save $$ and...It is EASY
Best deal out there.....
A nice digital scale can be had from Amazon cheaper than dirt--with big plate etc
Get your tape from Amazon cheap too
Or....
Just pay more
Use lots of padded envelopes---keep boxes small as possible--it helps
Padded envelopes can handle lots of items and nobody says you can't stuff them but you just list padded envelope and the width and length so it goes as a small item--helps a lot for things that can make it that way
UPS rounds up on weight to the next pound--Do NOT cheat on the box dims --if caught they Hammer you for additional charges stupid amounts just tell it like it is , same on weight.

Pirateship makes it stupid easy. Can't go wrong.
