- eco 5y agoMy prices on the UPS options are about double yours (USPS is the same). I'm in the Salt Lake metro area. UPS 3 Day Select: $49.19 UPS Ground: $20.85 UPS Next Day Air Dom: $118.86 Every time I ship something it seems like it is priced about the same as these options. How do individuals (and this company) unlock those magical shipping rates you get from other businesses without which they'd be dead in the water as a business?
- 83 5y agoCommercial accounts get significantly better rates, I've seen at least one startup whose business model is passing along the commercial rate to consumers for a small cut of the savings (my quick search is only finding pirateship.com but that's not who I was thinking of). Similar thing happens on Ebay when you do your shipping label through them (not sure if they're actually taking a cut or just passing on their better rate though).

- neom 5y agore-shippers rates are usually a lot cheaper, just a quick look around seemed it was about $30 to forward a package that is less than 1lb to Portugal.
