<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 911291, member: 37"]Always found better rates with FedEx for large relatively lightweight packages. Haven't shipped in a couple years so don't know if this is still true. Smaller pieces I usually shipped USPS. Always made my own boxes to help defray costs. Large appliance/furniture boxes are a good source for free cardboard. I usually offered free shipping on anything $100.00 or more and tried to build the cost into my profit. On lesser priced items, I kept the shipping low by partially subsidizing it. Free or cheap shipping is definitely an aid to sales.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
