Lady at the post office recently told me you can use any Priority box that doesn’t have the words “flat rate” on it for any kind of Priority Mail you want. I don’t know if that is true, but I’ve used Regional Box B for regular Priority for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh139 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 That’s cool. I’m learning stuff every day about USPS. Just learned last week that you can drop prepaid packages in those big blue collection boxes at the post office. Always thought I had to go to the counter. That’ll save some time.

I’ll feel the same in May or June when I get mine back from EPS. But seriously, glad they turned out well! I guess me getting mine back in one day isn’t the norm out your way?

Devilsguy Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 15 hours ago, mfitz804 said: Absolutely not. Flat rate medium box is $13.60. Most of what I sell are Devils jerseys or Devils related so they stay in the tri-state area. I can ship a single jersey by weight for around $7.80, sometimes even less if I use the "Regional Rate" box, depending on location. I only use flat rate when the "by weight" price is more. Shipping 1-2 jerseys, and most of them being on the Eastern seaboard, it typically isn't. Yeah I have used the Regional Rate box as well. I believe the cost depends on how many "regions" you have to go through to the destination. If it is shipping within the tri-state area or even most of the east coast I believe the cost is basically about the same as if I shipped by weight normal priority. I think it is even cheaper if you ship to california than by weight but not sure if it is cheaper than via a flat rate box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they used UPS, I should have it tomorrow. I'm guessing, though, USPS would probably only take a day as well. Devilsguy, peek in the window and see if they shipped my jersey yet!! Looks like they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always do my shipping online, so I check all three and use whichever one is cheapest. Because of that, I honestly have no idea how the regional rate works, or which one will be cheapest at any given time based on location. I make that determination on a case-by-case basis. 23 minutes ago, Devilsguy said: Looks like they did. You are probably right, I ordered it early in the day, when I do that they usually ship the same day. I’m expecting it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From how it has been explained to me, the US is divided into a bunch of regions depending on location. I think there are about 4-5 regions. Say NJ and pretty much the Eastern seaboard is region A then to reach say Denver in region C it would have to go over 2 borders (between region a A and B and then B and C). The price is how many of these regional borders you cross. I could be 100% wrong but I believe that is how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shipped a package to Texas this morning, Regional was like $17, Flat Rate was $13.40, and regular Priority by weight was $7.50. So it paid to check them all and to NOT use flat rate.

When did Meigray start to use USPS? Or did I just pick the wrong week to stop sniffing glue? To follow up, today's UPS delivery came and my jersey was not in it. So already its different on eBay than what happens when I order directly from MeiGray. USPS did not come yet, so I don't know if its in there.

Guest Dr_Puck Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Flat-rate for me all the way because of the distance. I've sold exactly two jerseys to people within three hours of me these last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
