What is the lowest price u r shipping first class for?

I am just starting to look into using Pirate Ship for my shipping labels. I know I should have done it sooner. The lowest weight I typically ship first class for is 7 ounces. On Pirate ship it costs $4.15 for a 7 ounce package.

But because of using some type of packing material, I believe the “lowest” I’m going to go in the future is $4.99. I hate doing it. “Once in a blue moon” if I have anything that weighs less than 7 ounces I’ll put it for $4.60…which is very unlikely for me. I’ve got a lot of editing to do on my shipping.

I miss the old days when I could put a price for first class under $3. I just cannot see absorbing too much of the cost of shipping supplies (and some of the actual cost of shipping) like I have been on one sold listing….not with today’s cost of living.

You? Interested in knowing. Please share!!

Ship all of your Bonz orders with Pirateship. The cost for First Class Package will vary depending on destination. The price breaks are at 4, 8, and 12 ozs. Make the package as light as possible. Use air-jackets. Cut these and tape them together if necessary. Don’t leave money at the carrier.

Very good advice, Veronica. I did not know where the price breaks are at. I agree about UPS. On their site I put in dimensions and got a cheaper price online but cost more at the place of business. Wish I would have chose pirate ship for that one. It was a super big package.
