Selling honey in jars and stuck how to ship cheap

[grandia]

Over the past couple days I've really been trying to figure out how to ship my glass honey jars (about 32 oz each) without costing my customer much. I already looked into USPS but their pricing for over a pound adds up fast. I'm seeing a lot of talk about Shippo, Shipstation, etc., but they don't really show the discount rates until after signup. Anyone here already do this? What's best for keeping shipping costs low on similar weight items? Much thanks. Might give you a free sampler if you'd like They're really good, I swear.

I've encountered a similar issue with those heavy glass jars. I usually rely on Pirate Ship since it's free, really user-friendly, and offers fantastic USPS discounts, especially for Priority Cubic. Shippo's a good alternative as well if you're looking for more shipping options. If you're not dealing with a massive volume, I'd recommend starting with Pirate Ship. By the way, how many jars are you shipping each week? And definitely, I'd love a sampler

What kind of volume are you shipping monthly, enough to qualify for bulk or regional rate discounts? That could really change whether Shippo, Pirate Ship, or UPS works out cheaper

Yeah, shipping heavy glass jars adds up fast. I'd suggest trying Sendle they offer great rates for small businesses. If your boxes are compact, you might save a lot with their cubic pricing. Worth a shot before locking into anything else.
