how is it possible , I love giving away crappie tackle , it makes me happy to send baits and such out , but how on earth do you beat the US postal service rates .....
they are ridiculous to say the least , a small padded envelope with about nothing in it runs me about 5 bucks ....
is there a secret I am unaware of , it bothers me to spend 30% of the tackles worth on postage .....:banghead
btw , your plastics will be there Saturday ...."Bojac" ....:highfive
It seems it's that way across the board Ketchn. The rates they charging for ground mail is what we used to pay for overnite, or 2nd day delivery...
if you put a ball cap in a box , the postage might be more than the ballcap is worth :bangheadQuote:

Amazon and the like are getting all the discount rates .
Us poor folks get to pay the premium prices

I have no use for daily mail in my life! something has to change!
Rates to ship anything are certainly ridiculous
Three days a week would be plenty.Quote:

Just sent you a pm and saw this post. Lol. Thank you for jigs from the Father’s Day give away. Received them on Saturday. Very kind of you and I appreciate it. The postage amount on the packing envelope was the first thing I noticed. Said something to my wife about it. The envelope was so light, crazy.Quote:

Not sure if it will help, but a few months ago I took a small package into the post office to mailout. They told me how much and I about fell over. The gal asked me if it was a book? We have special book rates. Sure, yep, it's a book. Rate was cut more than half. It might be worth a shot.
Just be careful with this. When shipping media mail it gives them the right to open the package and check it and make sure it is media, if it is not they will hold the package until the recipient pays the extra shipping cost. My wife found this out when she shipped some stuff not knowing what media mail was. Just a heads up.Quote:

Thanks sweathermon, I didn't consider that. Fortunately I was mailing a book to a CDC member. I definitely do not want anyone to endure an extra hassle.Quote:
