Anyone that has any experience using the Regional rate A & B boxes, compared to the flat rate boxes?

I print online and have them scan them in at the USPS office. You have proof you printed the label and that package IS IN route.

Set up an account with the post office, get a good digital scale and do your own labels. The PO also uses Paypal. So if you are shipping to someone who paid you with Paypal, you can just pay the PO. Regional Box are good for lighter weight boxes.. They say right on the boxes, Regional A or B. Flat Rate boxes are good for heavier weights. You can also use UPS simple rate. If the box is under a certain size of cubic inches, the pricing is graduated, and weighs less than 50 lbs. As an example, I needed to ship some forged Audi control arms to NY. The box was 20X14X4. Thin box. UPS simple rate was $28. USPS or UPS standard rates were about $46. UPS also takes Paypal as a payment. You don't have to set up an acct. like you do with USPS. Greg W. |
