Mailing Cost Options

[bsktklink]

I'm not finding a mailing option of either USPS priority med. or large flat rate boxes anymore.  Is this still possible and I'm not finding it when I look at shipping option costs?  Please help.  Thanks!

If you are attempting to purchase a USPS label here on eBay, check the dimensions that you are specifying.  If those dimensions exceed Priority Mail flat rate box sizes, then eBay will not present that option to you.

I have found that using Pirate Ship and their USPS Priority Mail Cubic rates can be cheaper than the Priority Mail Medium and Large Boxes rates thru Ebay. It still comes with $100.00 insurance.

I am located in California, as you are also.

I find it much better to use Calculated Shipping, entering the weight/dimensions of the package.  Buyer will then see the shipping cost from my zip code to his/her zip code.  When I go to buy my labels, using ebay, of any of the flat rate priority boxes turns out less expensive (and it RARELY does) then I can select it.  I find that using the Regional Rate A boxes saves money when shipping a package that is over 2 pounds to the east coast.

Perhaps the issue might be that when you get ready to print the USPS label you need to selec the "carrier packages" as the package type.  (For me, USPS "custom size" is the default and I would need to change it to "carrier packages" to see the flat rate options.)  Hope this helps.

Select package type:

Package type

o   Custom size     o  Carrier packages

And if you should have to change your packaging just before you print out a label, be sure to "update" the new info, or your info will revert to the original.
