Dude, have you been working out?
Is this why I’m seeing deliveries without a box? More and more are coming in plastic bags. One was in clear plastic so anyone can see the contents.
Can someone tell me how to ship via USPS? I can’t seem to figure out how to ship an ePacket
Lithium batterys to Puerto Rico are a continuous problem also
Here is a detailed qualitative summary of the key points and ideas from the video:
Overview of Shipping Costs and Options:
– E-commerce businesses are facing rising shipping costs as major carriers like USPS, FedEx, and UPS have increased their rates. This has made it more challenging to find the cheapest shipping options.
– The video aims to provide a comprehensive comparison of the various shipping carriers and methods to help small business owners find the most cost-effective way to ship packages.
Comparing Shipping Carriers:
– For packages over 2 lbs, FedEx Ground or UPS Ground are generally cheaper than USPS Priority Mail, as long as the package dimensions don’t trigger dimensional weight charges.
– The dimensional weight calculations can significantly increase shipping costs for larger packages with FedEx and UPS.
– USPS offers flat rate boxes (small, medium, large) that can be more affordable than dimensional weight charges for heavier packages.
– The break-even point where USPS flat rate boxes become cheaper than FedEx/UPS Ground is around 3 lbs for the medium box and 5 lbs for the large box.
Shipping for Packages Under 2 lbs:
– For packages under 2 lbs, USPS is almost always the cheapest option compared to FedEx and UPS.
– USPS First Class Mail is the absolute cheapest for items under 16 oz, but reliability can be an issue.
Overnight/Express Shipping:
– For overnight delivery, USPS Express Mail is the cheapest option, but it is less reliable than FedEx or UPS next-day services.
– USPS Express Mail also does not offer morning delivery, which can be a problem for some customers.
2-3 Day Shipping:
– It’s unclear which carrier provides the most reliable 2-3 day delivery, as USPS Priority and First Class don’t have guaranteed delivery times.
– FedEx and UPS 2-3 day services are more expensive but have guaranteed delivery windows.
Overall Recommendations:
– For light items under 2 lbs, use USPS to keep costs low, but be prepared for potential reliability issues.
– For heavier items over 2 lbs, use FedEx or UPS Ground if delivery time is not critical, or USPS flat rate boxes if the weight exceeds the dimensional weight thresholds.
– For time-sensitive deliveries, use FedEx or UPS even though they are more expensive, as their reliability is much higher than USPS.
– Consider using shipping software like ShippingEasy to get discounted USPS rates and easily compare carrier options.
– Negotiate shipping rates directly with FedEx and UPS if you have a high enough shipping volume.

I haven’t taken calculus since high school, so I guess I need to brush up before rewatching this video.
i want to sell something that is heavy and will ship out in 5 seperate BOX sections , each one weighing aprox 22 pounds each box.. Am i going to be charged much more because of the 5 individual boxes as compared to just one large box ?
Great Job
what is the largest size flat rate box
Shipping IS A SCAM, especially OVERSEAS SHIPPING!! Explain how it is CHEAPER to PERSONALLY FLY AND HAND-DELIVER SOME ITEMS LIKE GUITARS or items the size of a guitar amp head. I have had people arrive from Europe several times to do this. Ridiculous !!! Also…ALL DOMESTIC SHIPPING EMPLOYEES NEED TO BE REQUIRED TO WEAR BODY CAMS because of the amount of EMPLOYEE THEFT & ABUSE.
Anyone want usps original shipping labels
You helped me alot in getting my online store done
I use a mix of UPS Ground and FedEx 2Day to ship all my packages and it’s great and pretty cheap. (For ups ground at least)
Evident Calm number Turning. IDemo
Whos the cheapest fed ex or ups or the mail??
USPS is "losing" too many packages recently in the Houston area. How they disappear no one can explain. Many people are switching to UPS.
UPS store quoted me over $200 to send a 14 lb snare drum in its case across country. It’s too late to go to the main UPS center or the post. Shouldn’t it be about 50 bucks plus insurance?
Brilliant information. Thank you
Seriously, like, seriously man – such an excellent channel!!!
Thank you!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
UPS just charged me $250USD to ship a package to Trinidad & Tobago, I’m pretty sure I just got robbed, the package wasn’t even 1lbs .
i enjoy your videos.
you talk to much and say little
Most delivery services are horrible especially Estimated Arrival Times !!!!!
Nobody is telling me how or the best way. Get to the point. Gets there and still know nothing I didn’t when I clicked his dumb thumbnail.
all three of these are trash. we need a better alternative asap
You should never UPS vendor to drop your package off for shipment.
2 weeks ago, I shipped a package to go to Canada.
My package spent two weeks bouncing around the United States and came right back to where I shipped it from.
UPS tells me that the agent for UPS did not correctly fill out the paperwork, so now I have to go pick up my package and reship it again.
I paid over $100.00 to ship a 11 Lbs. Package to Canada.
The gentleman who shipped my package told me he had never shipped the package to Canada before, so I was patient and after 30 minutes of working with him he felt it got everything done correctly.
He called the customer support people to ask what he needed to do to make sure everything was okay and they told him to go look at the PowerPoint and hang up on him. When I call UPS tell me it’s the problem with the person who I had ship the package and they have no responsibility for what they do.
As a customer I think this is Bravo Sierra.
In Rural America, we have to use the agents that are arranged with UPS to ship packages.
So when I go to the UPS location they are representing UPS and should know how to do things, if they need help they should contact their support personnel, except in my case the support Personnel could care less what the local agencies are doing.
The old-fashioned term customer service no service passes the buck we do not accept responsibility for what agencies do, Is the UPS way of doing business.

Usps has gotten insanely expensive. Cost $18 to ship a hoodie
Holy hell man that’s a lot of great info you put together!
I noticed you only mentioned boxes.
If I have a shirt to deliver that’s 1lb. Is it cheaper to use those plastic shipping packages versus the stand box?

If you have third-party insurance, they may know the Cheapest way to ship
The overnight guarantee is bs. Even if your item is late, the postal service won’t do anything about it.
I want a nice drone but they All claim they wont or dont recognize my usps address or my physical address in Arecibo PR
Excellent video very helpful 😊
I just went on UPS web site (having heard they might be the cheapest) and to send a 1.5lb package (worth $35) to the UK they want $190!! Are they serious??? They must be on something! (apart from very high wages)!
Now that Amazon is using USPS for nearly everything I must go to the post office to pick up everything I buy from Amazon. It is now all late because the P.O. has to get it ready for pickup. It was much better when Amazon used UPS because my packages were delivered to my door. It feels especially crazy to have to pick up heavy packages at the post office when they could have been delivered to my door.
Please can we have a video for e-commerce store buying from USA and shipping to Australia. Looking for the best shipping for my Australia & New Zealand customers. Which is the best app for me to use to calculate shipping, exchange rates?
Great video! One question: we have light items packaged in envelopes. But the USPS staff does not accept first-class mail label saying anything that is not a letter is a package and has to be ground advantage. Are they just making up rule? I only saw size and weight restrictions on the USPS website.
UPS is total shit!
Hey! If you are interested in getting shipping labels including USPS, UPS and FedEx at a flat rate of 3$ irrespective of weight and distance. Let me know and I’ll send you over the details.
So what is I cannot use UPS from Saint Lucia ? 😊
Hello. My name is Alex and I can help you with delivery from Russia to USA.
What about DHL?
The issue I’m facing is how to price the shipping on my website. I get that I can pay less or more for the actual shipping on the backend. But what do I put down on the website for customers to pay? I use Shopify for my website.
Get to the goddamn point.
And can we stop with the “Don’t forget to like and subscribe” already. Nobody is subscribing to a video they looked up quickly for shipping cost info.
