Default Shipping

Shipping rates are just silly high these days.
I recently had an item shipped to me and shipping was over $70.

I ran the same shipping info (size and weight of box, etc) through Pirateship and the shipping would have been less than $25!!!

The difference isn't always that drastic; but 1/2 price isn't unusual.

It doesn't cost a dime to set up an account. When you are ready to ship, you just put in the dimensions of the box, the weight, and the insured amount. You will get quotes from all the major carriers, sorted from least expensive.

Choose the one you want; print the shipping label, affix it to the box and drop it off at the carrier. UPS comes by our office multiple times per week, so sometimes I just set it up front with a sticky note for the UPS worker to take it.

Has saved a lot on shipping.
