MEH Synergy Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Just now, 001 said: ok , give us a rate that we can compare ---go ahead , and let's do a fictional shipment from 1 zip to another zip , with exact dimensions weight etc - you give me your rate , I will give you my rate - deal ? OK, I shipped out an amp that weighed 50 pounds roughly. I don't have the dimensions, but it was packed well. Would have been 150 fully insured. I ended up paying $65 fully insured. Just trying to aid others. What do you use for shipping? Maybe you have something better than this? Do tell. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A coworker just told me about SHIPPO. The service allows FedEx, UPS, DHL and USPS services to be used with discounts of 50%+ off. You print your label at home, there is no catch. Takes about 3 minutes to sign up for the service. Hopefully this will aid more sales here. I just successfully used it with no issues. Hopw this helps many here. sending PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 To clarify the best I can, When I signed up, it asked if I was a business, consumer or something else. I picked consumer. When you "create" a shipment, you can choose which carrier you wish to use and compare rates. It will give you the price and you can choose to then pay and print the label at that point. Insurance is also offered as an option m. Exactly the same as using UPS or Fedex per se, just heavily discounted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 @Westcoastdrums We have to compare apples with apples , meaning you or someone else should provide a Shipment that was recently billed with all the basic info ----then one can generate a comparative quote with other shippers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 @Westcoastdrums question , does SHIPPO quote you right away and you can simulate a shipment rate online, right away ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrier Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I don't know about that one, but I have used https://www.pirateship.com/ a few times recently. They seem to be the same sort of service. I have not done detail cost comparisons, but their claims IIRC are in the 20-30% savings range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
