Although I am big fan of and support the US Postal Service, I am not a fan of visiting the post office. Especially with Covid-19 concerns, I wish to avoid post office waiting lines.

I found PirateShip.com and I love it:

• super easy website to navigate (just enter your package dimensions, weight, address)
• no monthly fees (I’m looking at you, Stamps dot com)
• easy to compare different shipping methods to find the best rate (I’m looking at you, USPS.com – whoever designed your web interface should be severely punished)
• low, corporate shipping rates
• tracking numbers included
• print out your shipping label on your home computer (your regular printer will do just fine)
• just need a scale (a simple kitchen scale will do for many/most)

Even if you only need to ship one thing, it might take you less time to set up a new account and print out a label than it would to wait in line at the post office.

People who ship a lot may save a lot of money and time. You can opt to buy self-adhesive labels to put in your home printer, or consider upgrading to a dedicated label printer.

Do you have or are you considering running an eCommerce business? PirateShip.com integrates with many/most eCommerce solutions.

Want to see how much postage will cost via PirateShip.com? You don’t even have to create an account to check. Just enter your package info here: https://www.pirateship.com/rates

Does this seem like an advertisement? I don’t get any benefit from sharing this info other than the pleasure knowing I might have saved my friends some time and money.
