Anyone know who has least expensive rates for mailing a package under 5 pounds?  US Post Office, UPS, Fed Ex?

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.

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..☺

If the letter is going to a mil. base standard postage will do, as far as the package your local post offfice will help you.

The other answerers are incorrect. The basic rate is 39c for the first ounce, but there is a somewhat obscure provision that a letter under one ounce that is oversized needs an extra 13c in postage - total 52c. See the rate calculator at http://www.usps.com

Indeed. A package to the UK from the US took longer to arrrive with DHL Express than one sent ordinary airmail through the ordinary US postal system (and cost a lot more)

They ship it with postage due.  But since they weighed it, they should have charged you appropriately.

Guess everyone keeps missing that important difference that His Old Lady covered inher asnwer -- mail versus DHL deliveries.\n\nDHL and UPS and Fed Ex are NOT NOT NOT covered under the same federal statutes as the U.S. Mail.  If you get something delivered by them, it is NOT U.S.  mail.   It's a private company handling private deliveries.    It is not protected by federal law.   You have no recourse under federal law like you would if a U.S. Postal Service employee had delivered it.\n\nOnce DHL, UPS and Fed Ex delivers something to an address, that is the end of their responsibility.   Unless you insured it with them, and it wound up being damaged when you opened the box, you have no recourse.    That is not the case here.   Otherwise, without insurance, they don't care what happens to it, if it was delivered correctly as addressed, once it's delivered.\n\nEven with the PO, you would have a hard time getting the postal inspectors interested in this one.   They usually spend most of their time busting the big scam artists who rip off old folks on condo schemes.   Yeah, it would be illegal for your boss to open your mail, but only if the mailman delivered it to the store.   You said "a company like dhl."   That's a private company, so you're screwed.\n\nIf DHL delivered it along with everyone else's paychecks, and if they've been doing that, and your ex-boss decided to be a jerk and just not tell you....well, you don't have any recourse through the private companies.   They'll tell you they delivered it as addressed, and the rest is between you and the boss.\n\nSorry, but I wanted to get this difference cleared up.   Everyone keeps talking about "the mail", like it's all the same, and it isn't.  It's either the U.S. Postal Service or it ain't.    I've seen this before, where bosses had checks taped to the walls waiting on ex-employees to pick them up, and had run out of phone numbers to call, especially in college towns where the turnover was high and the kids moved a lot.\n\nIf you got the check, be glad, and don't waste time on recourse.   IF it was DHL, there isn't any.

I assume you are talking about mail. \n\nIf so, yes, you pay a flat rate for the package. Some of them they will let you send as much as you can fit in the package.\n\nIt obviously isn't a good deal if you only have a couple ounces to send.

Go to the USA and use the postal service.   The cost would be about $40.00 US.\n\nCoach
