' The best deal for packages under 1 pound is USPS Priority Mail at $4.60 to anywhere in the U.S. in 2-3 business days. However, for the shipper it is often less convenient to ship USPS. That rate does not include tracking or the automatic $100 insurance that you get w/ UPS/FedEx, and it often requires sending somebody to stand in line at the post office, and of course an employee's time costs money"
John I know that the PO now has carrier pickup & you can buy & print the postage online. I haven't used it myself so it may not be as convenient as the commercials & my carrier says it is. www.usps.com But no matter who you are buying from/shipping with, it stinks to pay more for shipping & handling than the item cost you. I almost always wait to consolidate my order OR go looking for more to buy to make it worthwhile.
