I want tacos now.

 

I just got back from the Mexican restaurant for lunch, tacos where tasty.

On a side note, my SS goodie box will be headed out in the AM! Hopefully this package won't get folded into a taco in shipping!

 

Wow denis. There is plenty of time...that wasnt necessary! But shows how much you care and want to make sure they have their gift in plenty of time under the tree.

That's just crazy, that would like saying, New York, New York. Hey it actually works!

 

Well, I went to get packing tape so I could box up and ship out packages today, saw one more thing that I just had to throw in. Finally got everything boxed up and to the post office... now let's hope there shipping isn't as destructive as it was when I shipped to the last FHC member!

 

Create an online account and weigh your package and print off in home. You will save from 10-40% on their rates on packages

 

You sure about that? I find the online rates are a bit higher usually for USPS

 

Got mine sent out today by pony express! Should be there in time, I hope.

The few times I have used it , it was cheaper. There so many types of boxes and level of services if your not familiar you can pay more than needed.

Most think there the 3 flat rate boxes. The small vhs size one the large flate rate that is like a shoe box and then there is like a medium or just another shape but similar size to the large flat rate I think? But there also regional flat rates. Not sure what the regions mean and if its to a region or within a region?? But there is at least A B and C regional flat rates.

My ebay account allows me commercial postal service rates for some items. I sent something off this week. I had it in a USPS priority box (not flat rate but just a free box I ordered for priority from them the item was going to be $9.55 bit I used a flat rate regional box it gave me the option to use and it was like $7.55 for the same thing. Just used the box that said like region A priority instead of the generic priority box it was in???

Sent a box to the carribien I can't spell it...but down below the keys...that place. Using the account I saved like $25 on the box.

 

You can save money on priority flat rates for sure, I think I saved $1.05. We do that in the swag shoppe, adds up over time.

 

Yeah... I got one of those.... but forgot my login and password! Shipping was slightly higher on one of the items that I have shipped before, but less then a dollar.

 

I hate everything now a days has an account and login. You have to have a spreadsheet to keep it all straight or use the dreaded same thing for everything.

 

Unless your sending something heavy though flat rates are rarely cheaper.

I sell stuff on the side on eBay and rarely ever use a flate rate box as most know it. Those regional flat rates more than others.

 

Your what? Moses? Hmmm... Anyway, if Sean wanted to buy packing boxes and spend the time weighing things out we could probably save a little more, but it's not worth it really.
