USPS Priority Mail Shipping Features and Advantages






USPS offers shipping boxes in several different sizes. They also provide envelopes of different sizes and small shipping labels. These are free of charge and the best part is that they are delivered to your front door. That is what I call convenience! All you have to do is sign up and they will happily ship you all the supplies you need.

Another nice thing about USPS is that they offer flat rate boxes in two different sizes. For a flat fee of $9.30 items can be shipped anywhere in the U.S., including Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico. This fee even includes a Tracking number so your clients know their shipping progress.You can put as many things in the box as you can fit, weight does affect the shipping cost. After your items are packed, you can call the USPS and have them pick up your boxes free of charge. That way, you do not have to go to the post office and wait in those long lines.

Availability update, the Flat Rate boxes are such a success that the USPS just started offering a new Bigger size Flat Rate box. It measures 12" x 12" x 5.5" compared to 11" x 8.5" x 5.5" of the original Flat rate.

You have the option of using your shipping company of choice. We prefer eBay and PayPal shipping services. After you get paid for the item sold, you have the option of printing your shipping label. If you decide to print the shipping label, you can also input the items weight and what service you want to use. When you are done with PayPal, it will show you how much shipping costs, if you decide it is the right amount, PayPal will go ahead and help you print the shipping label. The cost of shipping will come out of your PayPal account. The FedEx shipping labels mentioned work perfectly with this service. You always have the option of using plain paper to print the labels, but self-stick shipping labels are very convenient.
