So what size box do you use to ship eggs USPS?

I am so tired of paying rediculously inflated prices for EVERYTHING under the sun! This economy crunch is bad enough without more rate hikes!

#7 Priority Box free from USPS , I ship 5 peafowl eggs in it. Priorty cheaper than the flat rate boxs unless you are shipping something heavy.​

I have been shipping for my online businesses for 6 years. I have always found that any package over 5 pound and NOT within the same state as the shipper, UPS and/or FedEx is cheapest. Lately FedEx has been beating UPS...but you just have to check both against the other when you ship.

I see something about a "regular" flat rate box...guess that means they are now going to use the $ from price hikes to have ANOTHER size box manufactured

they already have different sizes, they have a newer larger FRB, great if you are sending ton of bigger items, or heavy fabric

I hate the hike, means other stuff will go up too to cover their cost.

Rate increases already? Feels like they just bumped it.

$10.35 on a regular flat rate, I thought $9.80 sucked.

I can't help you with the price increase...

But if you use usps online shipping you will save some on all priority shipping (5% I think) over going to the post office. And no line plus you can schedule a pickup at your house so you never have to step foot in the post office. A decent digital scale that goes up to 5 or so pounds is pretty inexpensive. Any thing over that I just use an old kitchen scale 25# max and I have never had a problem. Just print the label out on a regular sheet of paper, cut it out and use some packing tape to stick it on, put it on the front porch (after scheduling a pick-up) and you are done.
