Tizimarezie Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 This is probably a dumb question but shipping costs are so high now that it costs as much to ship as the item itself. I try to keep my shipping costs down but also want my products to arrive safely. Not sure how to ship ONE 6oz tin since it's not glass. Would you put it in a bubble padded envelope and mail "First Class Large Envelope" with the shipping fees between $2 to $3?....or would you put it in a box and ship "Parcel Post" for $4.50 (at that rate, I'd probably go with "Priority" for .10 more). Envelope or box?TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Box. If you look at the USPS site at the envelope rates, there's all sorts of new rules on whether it's stiff or can bend, and the rates are higher than usual if an envelope is not flat. You can't assume 1st class postage anymore is a standard rate if it's under 13 oz - now the limit is 3.5 oz, and size and shape do matter I'd go priority.
