That being said, I ship using a USPS flat rate box. Most stuff can be shipped in medium or large flats rate boxes that cost $21.95 for medium box and $31.50 for large box! Last week I shipped a dozen traps to New Mexico in a large flats rate rate boxes , cost $31.50. After I got done with the transaction, I asked the lady what it would cost using a regular box. She put it back on the scales and for USPS ground it would have been $47.05 going USPS GROUND, while shipping priority mail was $75! If someone has a different, less expensive way to ship, let me know! Bob

USPS is nearly double the rate of UPS on heavier and larger packages. You can pick and choose the rate with Pirate ship. We only ship smaller packages by USPS. www.jamesonsultrablend.com www.wildlifepestcontrolservices.com

USPS is nearly double the rate of UPS on heavier and larger packages. You can pick and choose the rate with Pirate ship. We only ship smaller packages by USPS. Pirate Ship gives you the option of UPS or post office. Their post office rates beat the USPS rates hands down. No subscription fee. Just need a computer and a printer. I completely dropped click-n-ship once I found pirate ship. Easy to use. Stores addresses for repeat customers. Overall a great program. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.
