REMINDER: Priority mail info
- Thread starter mikeyj23
- Start date
Cheapskate Reality Check:
If you're sending 1500 miles or less, the chances are they will arrive in 2 days anyway, so why bother with Priority Mail when it will likely be $2 or less to send by 1st Class? My:2
Because it CAN take two weeks (and it has), and the $3 you spend on the box bumps you over PM pricing anyway.
Can you say "recycled box"?Because it CAN take two weeks (and it has), and the $3 you spend on the box bumps you over PM pricing anyway.
And I've never had a package take more than 3 days yet.
One CSOB's view.
Thanks for the refresher for everyone. I have been using the USPS website to get my boxes for free (great deal), but I didn't know about the scales. This will be a useful tool for click and ship now that I have a reliable computer/printer.
PM is well worth the $4.60 with free DC you get at click and ship.

I have had a priority box take 5 days just to go about a three hour drive. That is just how usps is sometimes.

Thanks for the great info. I was trying to order the scales and it asks for my 9-digit account number. My USPS account number is only 8 digits. When I enter it says it is invalid. Am I missing something?

You can choose not to do the account number at all and just enter the DC of a package you've recently sent.

Is that on the same page? Because all the fields except for "account number" are grayed out. It looks like you have to enter an account number in order to activate these other fields (including the DC field).

You're absolutely right - I just went to the page and they've changed it. Sorry about that.
