Think you got a great deal on that small flat rate box? Think again. I’ll explain why it is better to go with USPS First Class Mail for items under 13 ounces…

I need help on doing “First Class Mail” but its only two gift cards. Any
advice on how to ship it?

Could it be any envelope or box for first class

First off how much more is it if you add tracking and insurance? The flat
rate boxes automatically come with tracking and $50 insurance. It has to be
added to first class and for the items I ship has been more expensive
overall. Secondly how does a box have a circumference? I thought that was
reserved for round things, circles, spheres, orbs and the like. And how
would you calculate the circumference of a box? X*Y*Z*Pi? Just teasing but
please don’t assume that those of us that ship by the flat rate boxes don’t
know what we are doing like you did in the video okay? Sometimes it is just
more cost effective to ship that way even though the package part would be
less expensive your way.

Plus priority mail now includes tracking in the price….just saying,
unless you want to take the chance…had a seller that said he was in US,
turned out he was in Canada…took over two weeks to ship my item(which
turned out to be a fake LifeProof phone case)….reported to ebay that I
never recieved it (no tracking)….instant refund..

One problem though…what about tracking? You send that without tracking &
buyer claims they never got it, guess what…Paypal WILL refund buyer 100%
of the time cause you have no PROOF it was shipped..

Heres a question for international shipping to canada. If i am shipping a
pair of shoes, is there any way to avoid duty fees like labelling it “used”
are there any loopholes if im trying to send a new pair of shoes to canada?

Even better…if it weighs under 3.5 oz. you can use letter for around $1.06

what do you mean by we cant use a package with length + girth of _____? how
do we calculate that i dont get it. do we add the length and girth to get
the limit or the length alone and the girth alone cannot each be _____.

This is a pretty useful tip. -I never bought of ebay before, I was wanting
to order some hats of ebay. Don’t you have to set up a paypal or something
like that to order stuff?

How do I ship to Canada using those small manila envelopes? I’ve never
shipped before and I’m not wanting to screw anything up here.

Wanted to ask you something. What if the item weighs 13 oz. or less but its
size does not allow to ship in an envelope? What I mean is, I have an item
that is 13 oz less even when packed in a rectangular box (similar to medium
priority mail box). Can I ship this item using first class mail in a
rectangular box? Do they accept it? Or, if its a box we have to ship it
using priority mail? Thanks and great video by the way.

ur own box. if u havent already can u do a video on the different prices ,
where u ship it, size, and weight, will help ALOT. i try to only ship first
