Just out of curiosity, who are YOU guys using? I use mostly USPS. Horrible tracking, but cheapest shipping. I lose sales when I quote people the UPS pricing EVEN with a volume discount.

I did a shipping weight on all my items over first class of course.
and then did a comparison on what would be best.
Find the flat rate box for Post office seemed to work the best way but pricey of course.
Ups is cheaper in the sense that if you need to ins, the first 100 is free and some times according to area it is cheaper.
I have added a remark on my auctions/or classified that the shipping costs can be not on the mark.
It becomes a real turkey shoot to get it right...
Now if more customers would buy muliti buys it would sure save all a lot of money.
Just my take on it.
