About

Save On Shipping exists for one reason: most people pay more to ship packages than they need to. Between dimensional weight, surcharges, service levels and packaging choices, there are plenty of places where money quietly leaks out. We explain how carrier pricing really works so you can keep more of it.

What we write about

  • Rates and carriers: how USPS, FedEx and UPS price packages, and how to compare them fairly.
  • Packing tips: choosing the right box, protecting what is inside and avoiding size penalties.
  • USPS guides: mail classes, extra services and the options most people never use.
  • Returns and drop-off: sending things back without the hassle.
  • Holiday shipping: planning ahead so gifts arrive on time without paying for overnight.

Our approach

We focus on methods that stay true even when prices change: how billing works, what to measure, and what to ask. Carrier rates and surcharges change regularly, so we encourage you to check current prices with the carrier before you ship. Got a shipping question? Ask us.
