Shipping in the United States may become a headache. Many people feel that sending packages in the United States is slow but expensive.
Is the US courier service prolonged and costly? You may need help finding the right way to ship in the United States.
USPS is the most economical option compared to other carriers. The two most common USPS services are First Class and Priority Mail.
*Starting from January 22, 2023, the USPS will implement new shipping rates. Please refer to the USPS new price list for details.
First Class is usually used for sending letters and small packages; it often arrives in 1-5 business days. Prices start at $0.60 for standard envelopes and $4.80 for small packages.
Priority Mail usually arrives in 1-3 business days. If you use the USPS packaging boxes or envelopes, the postage does not increase with the item's weight as long as your package is ≤ 70 pounds. This means you can send 1 pound for the same price as 70 pounds! USPS packaging prices are as follows.
Please refer to: USPS Price List for specific box sizes
UPS is the priority choice for sending medium and large packages, but the disadvantage is that the price gets pricy.
According to the UPS official statistics, 90% of the packages can be delivered within 3 days. If you want the delivery to be fast enough, you can pay for it!
Commonly used two UPS services are Flat Rate Shipping and Daily Rates.
Flat Rate Shipping is available for packages weighing no more than 50 pounds and measuring no more than one cubic inch. Mailing prices for different UPS packaging are:
In addition to the base price, UPS will charge an additional service fee. For specific box sizes, please refer to UPS Flat Rate List
As for Daily Rates, this service is for people who have scheduled a pickup or and have a UPS account.
Customers who use this service can ship faster and further, but it is also very expensive. Please refer to the UPS Daily Rate Calculator for shipping rates.
