USPS (United States Postal Service): USPS is often the go-to service for small business shipping. For packages under five pounds, USPS will almost always offer the best rate.

To offer free shipping, you will either have to eat the shipping cost if you have a high AOV (hoping that the extra sales will offset the costs), offer a minimum spend threshold (e.g., free shipping on all orders over $60), or increase your product price.

If your package is under 1 pound, USPS First Class Mail is the cheapest way to ship. If your package is between 1 and 5 pounds, USPS Priority Mail will be the most affordable option. For heavier packages (over 5 pounds), FedEx Ground and UPS Ground will likely be the cheapest shipping services.

Head to UPS.com and begin the process of shipping a package. Input the to and from details and select the Get flat rate shipping up to 50 lbs. option. For packages that weigh more than 50 lbs., explore the many other shipping options available on UPS.com.

Generally, UPS works out cheaper for shipping large packages, while USPS is cheaper for sending small items. If you're looking for a price for ground shipping in the US and your parcel is no more than 66lbs, USPS Parcel Select will be a slightly cheaper option than UPS Ground, however, the transit time is a bit longer.

Letters, large or thick envelopes, tubes, and packages containing mailable items can be sent using Priority Mail. This service is typically used to send documents, gifts, and merchandise. Select Priority Mail packaging is available at the Post Offices. All Priority Mail packaging can be ordered at www.usps.com/store.
