Have you weighed all your shipping options?

Hope you all are doing wonderful today. I wanted to share with you in this blog a Tip to help you save on shipping supplies when selling with ebay.  When I first started selling online, I would always find my own boxes around the home or office to ship my sold items because I felt that the USPS boxes were too expensive. However, after a while I became a Top Rated Seller with ebay and was able to get a discounted shipping rate on shipping which then allowed me to have access to Regional Rate boxes A & B. These boxes come in two styles each.


One style being a game board flat type box and the other the standard rectangular box. Box B is larger than Box A If you have seen the Medium Flat rate box. Box A is smaller than the Medium box while Box B is slightly larger. I really like these boxes because they are a great fit for the items I sell on ebay and the prices are based on the region your item is being shipped to.

The one thing you want to remember is that not all Post Office locations carry these regional rate boxes so you will have to order them online at www.usps.com they are FREE and will be delivered to your home within 7-10 days.

Now, I never have to look for boxes around the home or office. Be sure to always pick up a few Priority boxes as well, sometimes you come out cheaper using them instead of a flat rate box especially if your item is being shipped across the country.

Thank you for viewing my mini blog and be sure to leave comments, questions or feedback.
