The U.S. Postal Service changed its rates not long ago. That might mean you're not hip to the new regulations and could be paying more than you have to when you ship those cards and autographs.
There are services which allow you to print your own postage. With Stamps.com you can print postage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and get a free scale to boot.
But are you in tune with the best methods for shipping oversized packages and envelopes? Sports cards, autographed memorabilia and game-worn equipment can get to be expensive.
Even though prices to ship to your online buyers have risen pretty much across the board lately, there are ways to make sure you're getting the best deal.
Greg Holden at AuctionBytes got in the trenches for this story with a USPS executive in order to sort out the best methods and tools for keeping your shipping budget in line. |
