How to Ship Package - Practical Tips

1. Prepare Your Items: Gather the items you want to ship and choose a suitable box for packing.
2. Measure and Weigh: Securely pack your items in the box, then accurately measure the length, width, and height of your package and weigh it.

Now that we understand the steps and process for shipping packages let's explore some easy and convenient methods for shipping multiple packages at once:

‍

1. Use Free Boxes Provided by Carriers

You can order free shipping supplies from the carrier's website, including boxes. These boxes come in standard sizes, so you don't need to measure them yourself; the information of length, width, and height is already available.

For example, USPS Flat Rate boxes paired with USPS Flat Rate Service are an excellent choice for heavy but small items. On the ShipSaving platform, you can directly select the corresponding box without manually entering the package dimensions.

If the free boxes provided by carriers do not fit the shape or size of the items you need to ship, you can look for the cheapest packaging that meets your shipping needs.

2. Use USPS SCAN Form

When you need to ship multiple packages at once, it's a good idea to plan your shipping schedule so that all your shipping labels are purchased on the same day. 

This way, you can take advantage of the USPS SCAN Form feature. The SCAN Form consolidates all the shipping label information for your packages into one form. Whether you drop off your packages at the post office or schedule a pickup, the postal worker only needs to scan your SCAN Form barcode once to process all your packages.

ShipSaving offers a free USPS SCAN Form feature. After purchasing your shipping labels, you can easily generate the SCAN Form with one click, print it immediately, or save it to your ShipSaving account for later printing.

3. Compare Shipping Services from Multiple Carriers

Don't limit yourself to just one carrier. Compare shipping solutions from multiple carriers to find the best shipping prices and delivery times. This ensures you choose the most cost-effective and reliable option for each package. 

If you find it time-consuming to compare each carrier individually, you can register for a free ShipSaving account. By entering your shipping and package information into the system, you can compare all carrier services with a single click, viewing shipping costs and estimated delivery times for each option.
