USPS shipping prices ?

USPS also has a new "flat rate" Priority Mail box that is only $7.70 irrespective of weight. If you print your label online from the USPS web site, the delivery confirmation is free.

I use USPS almost exclusively to ship hundreds of packages a month and they've only lost two the past two years. Pretty good in my book!

Regards!

I use UPS because the store is close to my house.

My latest USPS story-

An $800 money order sent by priority mail with delivery confirmation. Mailed on Monday from Nebraska to Virginia. When it did not arrive by Thursday I went to the Post Office and they said:

"Well, its not a guaranteed service. Our tracking shows it left here on Monday".

I could have told them that. They then said if it is not there by next Monday (8 days later) they would trace it for me.

It arrived on Saturday after 6 days (2-3 day service my butt). As an experiment I shipped the same person a small package by FedEx ground that got there in 3 days and was tracked all the way. Difference price 97 cents.

Just my 97 cents worth with the USPS.

USPS has always been more expensive to purchase Insurance. the rate to send the package has been cheaper/competitive vs UPS/FEDex.

I think we can all attest to the reason why Insurance is cheaper with UPS/Fedex.......they never pay claims.

Justlisten is correct. And the flat rate box can be a good deal.
