Shipping Question(s)

I've got some bits laying around in my den that I'm considering putting up as PIFs. I've also been wanting to get into "trades" for a while now.

How do you guys ship?

I mean, how do you ship something without it being cost-prohibitive?

Seems like a silly question perhaps, but I honestly don't know. Every time I've gone to the local post office to ship something in the past (a rare occurrence to date) it has always seemed to be sooo expensive.

 

I don't know any way around the cost. It is high like you say but when I decide to PIF something the joy I know I will bring to the receiving person out weighs the shipping costs in my mind.

 

This is true. Just making sure you guys weren't sitting on any shipping secrets I need to know about

 

You can get a small discount on Priority Mail when you set up an account with USPS online.

 

Yup.
I just go through the Post Office and ship as cheap as I can get away with.

 

USPS First Class w/Tracking or Priority if it needs to be insured most of the time.
