stackables Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I have made a couple of trades in the last 2 weeks and today I was charged a different shipping rate. My previous 2 padded envelopes that I shipped I was charged $2.07. Today I shipped another 3 figs and I was charged just $1.12. Both were sent via first class. The $2.07 envelopes the clerk marked as parcel and the clerk today (different lady) marked the padded envelope as large envelope. One dollar difference seems like a lot to me. How much does everyone else get charged? Was I getting ripped off before? Might have to remember when this new girl works :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarkwelder Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I ship USPS first class and they charge me $1.69 for shipping. I've been using a 4"x7" bubble mailer. I know that it's cheaper for me to buy and print a label online. I think if I bring it to the counter they charge me something around $1 more.

bibious Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Online price for First Class mail parcel is 1.69 and includes tracking number. Prices vary in the actual Post Office which I never really use. The general rule of thumb the PO employee told me about letter vs package is anything larger than the width of a pen is considered a Parcel; I think you just got lucky with a nice lady on the 1.12 shipping costs.
