Wow, It's cheaper to send a box UPS than USPS - YorkieTalk.com Forums

And UPS insures it up to $100 at no charge

whereas United States Postal Service has no insurance (unless you pay extra) and it's not easy to track if you don't insure it.

So it's easier, trackable and insured and sometimes a few bucks cheaper to use UPS'S 2-3 day shipping service.

OOPS, by the way gift buddies, your packages are coming soon, I'm still trying to add a few more things.

How much did your package weigh?? My boxes are on the bigger/heavier side...I wonder if I should go UPS??

I always use USPS because where I live I have never recieved a package in less than 10 days. Maybe it is because I live in a more remote location and they also charge a "gas surcharge"

Sending my bears I always use USPS Priority mail and haven't had a package ever take more than 3 days.. usually 2 days. BUT that being said, the new rates are killing me. I don't make too many large bears anymore because of the rates to ship.

What ever happened to pony express?? lol

Fedex is really reasonable too and you automatically get 100 worth of insurance.

I like UPS because it's comparable in cost, great tracking, and the insurance. I really like it.
