Best Way to Ship?! How Do YOU Do It?! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I just always ship USPS and get delivery confirmation (which is only .65 extra, but worth it because they can't say they didn't receive it).

I have never had a problem with USPS...but I do with FedEx and NEVER ship anything with them....and try my hardest NOT to order anything that is shipped using them.

I usually never ship UPS either....just because, to me, it is just easier to go to the PO.

I use recycled boxes or new boxes...whatever I have....I always have a big tub full of all sizes of the bubble envelopes and manilla envelopes. (and paperwrap and tissue paper).

I normally print off labels...just using basic Avery labels or even just print on paper and cut it out and tape of package...OR if in a hurry, hand write.

I have to run my DD to school each morning and pick her up after VB practice...so I usually make two post office runs when I am doing a sale.

I often use the online postage quote (like V was talking about)....you can even have the post office weigh your stuff too...if you live close by to make trips there. Just have it in the package (it doesn't have to be taped up) and they can weigh it by the zip code and let you know how much it will be to ship....it seems every time I am at the post office, someone is doing that.

Most dog clothes are so light weight...they generally can go first class...but I usually I add the paypal fee (sometimes) and delivery confirmation to the price.

That's funny. I never have had a problem with FedEx (or UPS) but constantly have problems with USPS. I guess it just depends on where you live.
