USPS Flat Rate Boxes
September 2, 2009 by David
I’ve been in a number of discussions recently with shippers who are evaluating the viability of moving some of their shipments from UPS and FedEx to the USPS to save money by using the U.S. Postal Service’s Flat Rate boxes and envelopes. And, because I’ve been spending too much time in front of the TV, have seen the USPS’ advertising campaign promoting these services. Let’s Talk Shipping would like to find out if any shippers have saved money by using these flat rate services over services you formally used with either UPS or FedEx. Let us know your successes and failures.
