Shipping suggestions and tricks.

Adding to what oldkimmer suggested for the post office, opening an account for UPS saves me at least 20-25% when I’m shipping in the US. I have a little side hustle repairing oil pans and making small parts and shipping can be a significant part of the overall cost. I’m glad I can save customers a little and pay it forward some.
I didn’t include FedEx as they take your credit card info. I sent a few things thru them and every time my credit card got dinged. I asked them about it when I got my statement. Their excuse was that it’s just a best guess and sometimes they guessed low. I asked them what can be done about this. Didn’t give me the time of day. I told them to close my account as I wouldn’t be using them anymore. The wouldn’t. So that credit card ran out as needed renewed so I didn’t renew with them. I still get emails asking for updated credit card info but I ignore them. Kim
