Shipping kills. Some items can't be sold because shipping is too much.

I can’t tell you how much this helped me. My daughter flew to TX for a visit and decided to stay. Now I’m faced with getting her belonging. I was stuck between shipping extra large boxes or breaking it down in smaller boxes. You saved my a$$

Being an former Industrial Engineer and former Operational Manager for both UPS and FDX (Express, Ground, Home delivery, Freight family of FEDEX) for over 15 years; there are some secret hacks you may be unaware of with regards to shipping zones. There are some 3-5 day zones end to end that will get your package there NEXT DAY with 98.6% on-time accuracy - WITHOUT THE HIGH COST OF PAYING FOR ACTUAL NEXT DAY. (Next Day is 10:30 AM guarantee that you pay for. But some zones actually will deliver by 4:00 PM that are the standard 3-5 business day price; just by sheer default of the delivery logistics of both UPS and FDX companies - FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery and sometimes FedEx Freight).

Very thorough and very informative. I loved the information shared here and the research you obviously put into making this video.

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 .

You also need to mention the limited deliverability of USPS. You first need to validate that the address is deliverable as there are over 15 million address that are not deliverable by the USPS. They'll still take your money and not tell you if the package is undeliverable until its returned with no refund.

Very intuitive, thank you for taking the time to make and share this! 🙏

Are you aware that USPS just "blew up" their under 16oz shipping service? They did 3 things: 1) max weight is now 13oz. 2) you cannot buy the postage online anymore, walk up stand in line only. 3) and of course they raised the prices. As far as I know PirateShip is the best under 16oz option now but I dint know how it works with ebay. Very sad.

One thing not mentioned is USPS will pick up your priority mail items from your door or mailbox

We can offer sea, air and express delivery by most international carriers. Apart from this, we can also offer service about picking up, Inland trucking, warehouse storage, packing and so on.

You said it best! 📣 I used your sound-byte in my video about USPS Ground Advantage...Thanks for this awesome video!! PS... I linked your channel in my video 😃

I got a quote for a picture that was in a 26x26x6 box 5lbs, USPS wanted about $120

USPS raised rates, yes, but I also had a package damaged en route. That's not good for business when my client receives damaged goods... My product is about a pound, so USPS is cheapest and they do have $100 insurance, but replacing a damaged product takes time which clients aren't crazy about either.

Amtrak freightliner was the cheapest I found. 7 large boxes shipped across country for $175.

In my experience, Priority Mail and First Class is almost always delivered in three days or less.

When I first stated selling stuff online a few weeks ago, I ended up breaking even or making only a penny on some items because I didn’t realize how expensive shipping was now. I have a few things a can’t sell bc it’s so expensive

I’ve been looking for a way to ship donations to Pine Ridge. Really needed this video, thank you.

Steve, I haven't heard you talk about Business class Priority mail "Regional rate" shipping. It's significantly cheaper than normal Priority mail. I will have to look into ShippingEasy & similar services. I also haven't heard you talk about Shopify's discounted USPS shipping (up to 88%) in your platform videos. It seems there are a ton of options out there.

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?

Reach out to an account executive at ups they have multiple discounts that can be offered depending on your shipping

They ALL have pros and cons. For me it’s all the same meaning shipping costs but with USPS package gets lost a lot and if received may be severely damaged‼️

UPS is horrible. My Christmas package was lost, even though I tracked it all the way to the destination. Even when it said”on route”. My sister stayed up waiting for the truck. I’m on the phone with her on and off, both of us waiting. Then all of the sudden, “Delivered” was on the tracking device. No truck ever even approached her home. This is from Austin tx to Louisville ky. The ups in Austin could have cared less. Down right rude to me about it.

I don’t have a business account….who would be cheapest for a 50 pd box that’s 16” x 10”?

I appreciate you spending the time to put out this video, but there is so many cheaper ways to ship than what you are mentioning in this video. Pirate Ship will generally get you the deepest discount if you are not using a platform like ebay. USPS is generally the most reliable and gets there the quickest and safest. UPS and FedEx can be cheaper for heavier packages, but are at higher risk for damage and we'll get there later. FYI...We shipped thousands of items a month. Where I do fully agree is the reliability on the expedited shipping services of UPS and FedEx. If you want something there overnight, our experiences is either one of those services is the best for that.

Thank you this was a great video answer all my shipping question

99% I ship via UPS because I can't deal with the post office! Even when I order from other ppl, my packages don't always make it to me.

Thanks for the information! It was very helpful.

Thanks for the great video, very informative.

I need to learn how to ship my collection to Puerto Rico this year, so I can move there next year.

Never, never, NEVER use USPS in freight forward destinations.

For $12 Fedex padded pack flat rate coast to coast gets there in 3 days. Not the small or medium box the padded pack is somewhere in the middle and you can double up or reinforce with scrap cardboard filler. And their cut off times at certain locations and hubs are later than UPS.

I work for a business we send our grain samples in america up to our world HQ in Winnipeg. We have three options. Dhl(which I don’t use because the closest drop off station 350 miles) , UPS which I use. And FedEx. The reason I use ups is they give us 80 percent off discount because we have a corporate account with them. We tried to get FedEx to match or even come close they wouldn’t even deal. So I view it as if you won’t deal I won’t use your service. We drive farther to ups . I know why everyone says why don’t we use usps. They are horrible. I send my parents stuff about 1000 miles from where I am they lose it . Only two nice things about usps they have a ton of locations so odds are one close. Two they run on Saturday.

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?

Thank you for all this information it is so helpful, shipping so confusing to me!

When I look at ebay I see sellers charging at low price, but the shopping cost is so high that it is not a large material

Excellent video very helpful 😊

Thank you for your time and information

Great info, thank you!

What would be the best method of shipping 52 and 90 pound adjustable dumbbells? I noticed all sellers use UPS.

Thanks for the video - useful information !

very thorough; very helpful!

thanks, good vid. useful

Thank you for sharing. Liked & Subscribed 👍

Incredible information. Do you have a suggestion on the best places to get boxes to ship packages in? I want to be professional, and don't want to use "used" boxes. ULINE is who I am currently using, and they seem expensive.

Thanks for the info! What about insured shipping though? Any ideas? Thanks!

im looking for how to actually ship products, do you carry them over to the nearest shipping service or are there options to have the shipper pick them up from plant?

you prefer shipping easy vs easy ship? also, for boxes, is Uline the best option for products larger 2.6 gal for paint for example? thank you for the video.

Yeah anything involving usps is pretty much failed from the start probably best to avoid them like the plague

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 ?

Bingo! great vid! thank you!

Yet China can send me a trinket direct for $1.00.

Amtrak Express Shipping has been suspended. No longer shipping. Kaput. Finished. 86’d.

I’d like to know how to find suppliers for startups like mine. I cannot afford to buy in bulk at the moment.

THANK YOU for these jewels!

What about DHL. What about shipping from China to Uganda?

i enjoy your videos.

Where can I order free shipping labels , could you pelase share the link ?

Bro, you dont mention the cheap shipping websites. You just mention the carriers which is totally expensive if one ships directly on carriers website.

Thanks for the vid

There is something called UPS small business can anyone who used that service share their feedback as just started my small crafts shop on Etsy and need a courier for medium but light parcels internationally.

I would have to sell single items as a 2 item set just so my free shipping didn't kill all my profit.

The overnight guarantee is bs. Even if your item is late, the postal service won't do anything about it.

Have you tried SendleSaver or Shippo?

Does this also work for international shipping?

Thoughts on piggyship

I have closed my furniture online shop because of shipping cost.

How to request free shipping lable and boxes?

great content

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 you get their better discount

I got alot of value out of this

Undoubtedly, each case is different... the experiences are different for everyone... in my case, the worst service that exists in this glorious country, where everything or almost everything works fine...........USPS is the worst service there is, at least in MIAMI FLORIDA......... 10 years suffering every day with them.... ....... should cease to exist.

I want to know the cheapest way to get packages ship from Asia to USA

Does anyone know how I can actually ship USPS first class? You used to be able to do clip and ship for but if I recall correctly, but they don't offer that anymore! Do I actually have to go into a post office and pay for a label? And can I still get a tracking number when doing that?

There is really no way to get cheap shipping. No matter what you ship they all have the set prices.

Is their a way to cheap low cost items? How to ship a 2.5$ item so it makes sense.

Hello. My name is Alex and I can help you with delivery from Russia to USA.

Shipstation is trash. Constant server outages that lead to massive cured costs by my company. I know people throw this around a lot, but Shipstation should be out or business and something can easily replace it with better service.

📖 BIBLE Barbie Racquel 🌈 Amazing Video 💯 Thank You 😊 Blessings & Peace 🕊️

Shipping easy IS NOT good sellers, the ShippingEasy rate exactly same with eBay rate. Also I found the sync tab works not effectively .

My ADHD is causing this video to give me anxiety .. but thank you for the info

how in the world does my label plugs only cost me 7$ with the weight being 1-7lbs on the label someone teach me how to be a label plug

Who’s the fastest

Interestinng overview. Unless USPS changed, they don't offer freen thermal shipping labels like you showed. FedEx and UPS do.

wow

If you want your package NEVER to reach the destination always ship it through USPS!!!

5,184 cubic FEET??

A wreath - 22 inches / 10 x 24 inch box. Weight 1 lb. - guess how much.

FedEx is the worst one

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.

UPS is total shit!

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?

There is a secret shipping he doesn’t mention on here 🫢
