Cats and Coupons

One of the ways you can save money this holiday season, or year round, is by checking competitors rates before you ship. I ship most of my boxes using the US Postal Service. I love Priority Mail, it’s affordable and trackable. I love their flat rate boxes, which allow you to stuff as much as possible into one box and it costs one price. For bigger boxes the USPS. Fed Ex and UPS are usually rather competitive. If you like to ship Fed Ex, consider getting an account with them. Fed Ex offers discounts to account holders, I got an email yesterday that my rate as an account holder is 8% lower than their regular rate. No matter which carrier you’re shipping with, be sure to pack it in the correct size box to lessen the amount of packaging and cost of shipping. For UPS and Fed Ex drop your packages off to the station yourself if possible, to avoid pickup costs.
