Hi all..still kinda new on here. I have just uploaded some new listings that are heavy and need to offer USPS parcel…cannot seem to do this. All I keep getting is the priority or free/flat fee tabs. I go to use my shipping profile..and nothing. I have seen where you can do this on a btch edit(??) I cannot batch edit…as all my items are different. By the way, can you select items to batch edit or is it by the screen. Not as easy as other places…sigh. Any help would be appreciated!

Long ago (in a galaxy far far away) Bonz used to offer Parcel option from USPS but no more. While there is minimal difference in costs for smaller lighter weight packages under 1 cubic ft between Parcel and Priority, if you get over 4 or 5 lbs, there is quite the increase in cost for Priority and that will make or break a sale if shipping is high. I have been asking (for years) that Bonz re-instate USPS Parcel Post (ow whatever they call it now) as an additional option but it falls on deaf ears. I only ship US and dont even get into international shipping because of the obscene costs even if the package is smaller or lightweight.

Hi Poindog,
If you go to Batch edit, then to shipping you can set calculated shipping with a US provider of your choice, I’m not sure if it includes Parcel Post (that may have been eliminated) but you can find the shipper and calculated shipping that best suits your needs (look for dropdown menu) for various shippers. To answer your 2nd question, yes you can select individual products to do the above shipping changes for. Look for the Green APPLY CHANGES Button (After checking your products) and it will list the total number which will change. It actually is pretty easy. Hope this helps.

USPS no longer offers parcel post in it’s web tools..that is why it is not offered on bonz..and it is called USPS Retail Ground® now
Parcel post through USPS is not available when in certain shipping zones (ie those closest to sender) and therefore prior calc shipping cannot be done until a zip code is entered.
The best thing to do is to determine what the retail ground costs would be for the weight of your items using a zip code that is at least half way across US or all the way (depending on your location) and using that as a flat rate, and then use the shipping options offered through PayPal when the purchase is made..
Batch Edit
To select items to batch..use the filters above the lists (either by categories, keywords, etc. and Select the items you wish to change…click on small box next to items or one at top to select whole page)…..
