Does anyone have any idea....

how much it costs to ship something that weighs 1.5-2lbs in the US. Either through the post office or any other method that may be cheap. I have to ship 100 at that weight to different addresses and am wondering what it is going to cost me.

Re: Does anyone have any idea....

it depends on the zip code you are sending it to...if you are sending one to a place in the middle of the forest, it will cost more than in a city...etc...

i do shipping here at work sometimes...and it all depends on where you are shipping to. Just like if you are shipping to CA, it is more than shipping to NJ

Re: Does anyone have any idea....

Use the US Postal Service if you have plenty of time....they are cheaper than UPS or FedEx...i have shipped stuff overseas fairly cheap with them...

Re: Does anyone have any idea....

OK to send a package from Amity Harbor (where I am now) to Smithtown (about 40 minutes driving distance) UPS GROUND in a box at a shipping weight of 2.0 pounds is $3.97

Now, it's going to vary a little depending on the zip code. To give you an idea: to also ship that to Northport, NY is $3.65.

Now, let me try a California zip code. HANG ON!

Re: Does anyone have any idea....

OK so from Amity Harbor, NY to San Diego, CA (Zip 92101)... shipping UPS ground (which would be five days) for a package that weighs 2.0 pounds with a declared value of $1.00 is $5.49
