 Shipping packages are the backbone of the business. You can't sell anything
online if you can't get it to your customer's doorsteps, and shipping costs are
often the biggest expense when it comes to eCommerce operations. As such, every
business owner needs to find ways of keeping these costs down in order to be
competitive in their marketplace. 

Deciding which shipping option is right for you can get complicated. There are a
lot of options out there, and each one has its own pros and cons. It's common to
find yourself in a situation where you're debating between two different methods
of shipping, not sure which one is the cheapest. To help you out, we've put
together a list of the cheapest ways to ship packages based on the factors most
important to you: cost, speed, and volume.

CHEAPEST WAYS TO SHIP SMALL PACKAGES

When shipping small packages, you have four options: USPS First Class, Priority
Mail Flat Rate, FedEx One Rate, and UPS Simple Rate.

First Class takes 2-5 business days to arrive at its destination It charges
$4.80 for shipments under 13 ounces (oz), so if your package is less than one
pound (lb) then it would be the cheapest option. The downside of this method is
that it provides no tracking service. If it doesn't arrive within a certain time
frame, there is no recourse available to you as a sender since there is no
tracking system involved in First Class mailings.

Priority Mail starts at the price of 9.9$ for 1-pound packages. Priority Mail
Small Flat Rate boxes are ideal for small packages that weigh up to 70 lbs
because they charge only $10.40 per box. You may want to consider using this
option instead of First Class.

If your package is slightly larger or heavier than average and can't be shipped
in a flat-rate box, UPS Simple Rate would be the next best choice. It charges up
to 13.35$ and takes between one and five business days to deliver packages of
101-250 cubic inches.

FedEx One Rate charges $11.10 and takes 1-3 business days.

As shown above, if you are shipping small packages like gift cards, sunglasses,
mugs, greeting cards, t-shirts, jewelry, and so on, the USPS Priority Mail Small
Flat Rate Box is often a much cheaper option than UPS or FedEx.

 


CHEAPEST WAYS TO SHIP LARGE PACKAGES

You have a few options for shipping large packages, such as office supplies and
computers. UPS Simple Rate and FedEx One Rate are two of the cheapest options
for businesses shipping large packages.

Both UPS Simple Rate and FedEx One Rate services are designed to give you a flat
rate for shipping regardless of distance or weight.

The cheapest shipping rate for a package that weighs between 150 lbs and 165 lbs
and has dimensions of 251-650 cubic inches is $16.05 with UPS Simple Rate. The
price starts at $21.05 for packages of 651-1,050 cubic inches.

With FedEx One Rate, the least expensive rate starts at $16.50 and goes up to
$24.95 depending on if you choose Medium Box or Large Box. The Maximum volume
ranges from 650 cubic inches to 1,100 cubic inches.

USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Box comes in two sizes: medium ($17.05) and large
($22.45), which is slightly higer than the former options.

If you want to save money on shipping large items across the country while still
getting reliable service from a trusted company, then either UPS Simple Rate or
FedEx One Rate will serve your needs just fine.

 


CHEAPEST WAYS TO SHIP THE NEXT DAY

When you need to get a package to your customer the next day, there are several
options. It's important to know what each option can offer you before making a
decision on what's best for your business.

The cheapest way to ship overnight is USPS Priority Mail Express Flat Rate Box.
This box costs $27.25 for packages weighing less than 70 lbs, and the delivery
time takes from the next day to two days, depending on location.

If you need something even faster than that, UPS Next Day Air Saver delivers by
the end of the next day for a price starting at $29.66. However, Saturday
delivery is not an option with this service.

FedEx Standard Overnight delivers by 4:30 p.m. the next day for packages under
150 lbs, and it costs a bit more than USPS Priority Mail Express at $31.22 for
packages under 150 lbs, but this option offers Saturday delivery with extra cost
in certain areas within 150 miles of the delivery location.

If you qualify as a commercial account holder with FedEx Ground or UPS Ground
Freight services then those rates will likely be cheaper than what we listed
above!

 


TIPS ON SAVING SHIPPING COST

You will save a lot of money in shipping costs by following these tips:

 


USE THE RIGHT SIZE BOX

The best way to save on shipping is to choose the appropriate size box for your
product and fill it with packing materials that fill up all available space, but
don't weigh very much. In other words, when choosing a box size use this
formula: Length x Width x Height = cubic inches. 

 


CONSIDER REUSING BOXES AND PACKING MATERIALS

Don’t just throw your boxes away after you get your items shipped to you. You
can use them again to ship other items, especially if they are the same size or
smaller than the ones that were shipped to you.

Also, consider using light packaging material for each item in order to reduce
shipping costs. You can find foam peanuts and honeycomb packing paper at many
stores and online retailers. It's lighter and more compact than paper yet still
as effective at protecting fragile items from damage due to bumps during
transit.

SAVE COST ON SHIPPING EQUIPMENT

If you're looking for ways to save money on shipping equipment, one of the best
things you can do is invest in a shipping label printer. These printers use heat
to print shipping labels directly onto your product's packaging, which means
there's no ink involved and no waste. 

While inkjet printers are cheaper, they’re also slower and can’t print as many
labels per roll of tape as a thermal shipping label printer. The upfront cost of
the thermal printer is higher, but it pays off over time because you won't have
to buy new ink cartridges every few months.

SAVE MONEY BY USING FLAT RATE BOXES WHENEVER POSSIBLE

You can save money on shipping by using these options. The best part is that you
don’t have to worry about calculating the weight of your package or paying more
than the least expensive option

These are specially designed so they don't require any additional packing
material besides what comes already included with each shipment; additionally,
they allow customers who want less expensive shipping options access those
options while still paying less overall compared to regular priority mail
services if applicable.

 


CONCLUSION

Shipping prices are constantly changing, so it’s important to stay up-to-date
with the latest rates and discounts. By learning about new shipping options and
finding ways to save money on shipping costs, you can save as much as possible
when sending packages.
