Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest way to ship?

USPS Priority Mail is often cheapest for packages under 2 lbs. UPS Ground is cheapest for heavy packages. FedEx is similar to UPS. Compare all three for every shipment.

How do I calculate dimensional weight?

Dimensional weight = (Length × Width × Height) / dimensional factor. Carriers bill whichever is higher — actual weight or dimensional weight. Reduce package size to lower costs.

Does insurance cost extra?

Yes — typically 1-2% of the declared value. Most carriers include basic coverage up to $100. For valuable items, buy additional insurance or use a third-party insurer.
