No personal experience, but I was curious and looked around. If you follow the link below, it looks as though FedEx doesn't accept delivery of COD packages if inspection is a condition (see 5C).\n\nOf course, the delivery person may not know that...good luck

supply-chain, shipping, RMA, customer support.. etc... and of course, you're gonna need software to take care of all that. I've had ebay business... if you have a large volume of stuff to ship, UPS and FedEx give you ton of discounts on shipping.. i think they help you out w/supply chain as well.

There are two timeframes here that determine the total amount of handling/shipping time. Add #1 and #2 together to figure out when you'll get your package:\n\nTime #1: FredFlare - to - UPS in NY\nTime it takes from when you place your order to when they give it to UPS in NY. This is covered in the "When can I expect my order" section that you cut-and-pasted.\n\nTime #2: UPS in NY - to - UPS in Cali - to - You\nTime from when UPS in NY gets the package to when UPS in Cali delivers it to you. This is covered under the "Shipping Choices" section that you cut-and-pasted above("UPS Ground", "UPS 3-Day", etc.). This depends on what option you choose.\n\nExamples:\n\nSuppose you place your order BEFORE 1pm EST on Wednesday and that you choose UPS 3-day shipping.\n- Time #1 = 0 days(it goes same day because you got order in before 1pm EST and it's not the weekend)\n- Time #2 = 3 days(because you chose UPS 3-day shipping)\n- Total Time = 3 days\n\nSuppose you place your order AFTER 1pm EST on Wednesday and that you choose UPS 3-day shipping.\n- Time #1 = 1 day(it goes out next day because you got order in after 1pm EST)\n- Time #2 = 3 days(because you chose UPS 3-day shipping)\n- Total Time = 4 days\n\nSuppose you place your order AFTER 1pm EST on Friday and that you choose UPS 3-day shipping.\n- Time #1 = 3 days(it goes out on Monday because you got order in after 1pm EST and because they don't ship on weekends)\n- Time #2 = 3 days(because you chose UPS 3-day shipping)\n- Total Time = 6 days\n\nBottomline: just don't order it after 1pm EST on a Friday and you should get it in between 1 - 5 days depending on what option you choose.

My experience in shipping is that FedEx is the best!  I have used them all at my job, but FedEx surpasses all others.  They have the best on line tracking and customer service.  It may cost a little more than the others, but you get what you pay for!!

Do you have a UPS store nearby?\nThey could probably ship it at rush time, but it would cost a lot, I'd think.\n\nOr go to your post office (it's probably closed right now so probably tomorow) and see if they have anything.\nOR drive to minnesota yourself :P that was a joke. \n\nBut there SHOULD be some kind of service from the United State's Postal Service that allows things to be shipped within one day.\n\nI'm not an expert though

The US postal service is almost always the cheapest. They are however the slowest, and probably the most likely to lose your package. The US Postal Service also has different shipping methods, depending on what you're shipping. If it's anything of value, I strongly suggest using the insurance. Next cheapest would be UPS, then FedEx. You get what you pay for, to an extent. UPS has a pretty good track record, and FedEx slightly better.

It all depends on the size & weight of the package.  USPS has limitations.  I usually give an option of UPS or Prority Mail and let the customer decide.  Priority mail is cheaper with lighter things and UPS cheaper for heavier things.  We're actually moving over to FedEx - it's cheaper.  Priority mail does have advantages sometimes because of the free boxes.  Advice is that you should charge the customer for shipping and add a small handling fee if you can't make enough profit on the item itself.  The problem isn't your shipping costs, it's the item you're selling.  Investigate other items!

Use USPS priority mail, that's what I use, but don't forget to pack it well cuz the mail people don't give a damn about packages..☺

I noticed that people tend to use a set rate for postage instead of letting the USPS calculate it for them, that way the few extra dollars gained by overcharging for shipping adds up, but only if you sell in bulk.

The key factors that affect FedEx services are as follows: \n\n1. the overall customer demand for various services \n2. the volumes of transportation and business services provided through our networks, primarily measured by average daily volume and shipment weight;\n3. the mix of services purchased by customers;\n4. the prices FedEx obtain for their services, primarily measured by average price per shipment (yield); and \n5. our ability to manage our cost structure for capital expenditures and operating expenses such as salaries and benefits, fuel and maintenance and to match such expenses to shifting volume levels

Well, in order for me to find that out I would need the weight, dimensions of the box as well as the exact zip codes to/from.\n\nGo to USPS.com, UPS.com, FedEx.com to find out.\n\nThat should help.

8-10 days, my packages get there in this timespan, use priority mail, i always use the flat rate boxes and stuff everything i can in them, one rate regardless of weight.  i ship two at a time because it is cheaper that sending a bigger no flat rate box.  but always use priority mail somebody above said not to use pririty mail but the flatrate is cheaper than no priority rate, might as well use it.  and 1 or 2 days is a long time to our men and women who may need something
