Mail packages cheap

Here are some ways to mail packages cheaply:

1. USPS: The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers affordable rates for packages. You can use their online calculator to estimate the cost of shipping.
2. Free Shipping: Look for online retailers that offer free shipping on orders over a certain amount or on specific products.
3. Flat Rate Shipping: Some carriers, like USPS, offer flat rate shipping options for packages up to a certain weight or size. This can be a cost-effective option for small packages.
4. Regional Carriers: Consider using regional carriers like UPS SurePost or FedEx SmartPost, which can be cheaper than national carriers for shorter distances.
5. Package Consolidation: If you need to ship multiple items to the same address, consider consolidating them into a single package to save on shipping costs.
6. Use a Shipping Box: Use a shipping box specifically designed for shipping, as it can help protect your items and reduce the risk of damage.
7. Weigh Your Package: Make sure to weigh your package accurately to avoid overpaying for shipping.
8. Use a Shipping Calculator: Use a shipping calculator, like ShipStation or ShippingEasy, to compare rates and find the cheapest option.
9. Consider a Shipping Broker: A shipping broker, like ShipBob or LTL Freight Match, can help you find the cheapest shipping option for your package.
10. Use a Discount Code: Keep an eye out for discount codes or promotions from shipping carriers or online retailers that can help you save on shipping costs.
