I used to send nearly all my name tag orders by mail but after having one too many get lost I now send anything over $25 in invoice price via FedEx ground. I bill the customers and have have no complaints.

On smaller orders it's hard to justify more than first class postage but Priority mail just isn't worth it.

Don't forget about USPS flat rate Priority Mail boxes - whatever you can fit into the box it goes out at one rate.. I think it's about $8.40.

We've switched entirely over to USPS for right now, as we've had about $2K worth of silver disappear on it's way to us, including one box that was opened, contents removed, and then resealed.

I keep hearing people having trouble with the post office but I have had a positive experiance using them so far.

Plus it keeps shipping to a reasonable cost. Resonable enough that I could replace a couple of lost orders and still come out ok.
I am only shipping small dog tag type of items though!

I am able to send small packages by FedEx ground usually for less than $5 and I have a no hassle tracking system. I'm sending nametags in small boxes (4x4x6) all over the country.

I agree that is a way to go.

I can send the same package for about the same cost in postage plus get free boxes. I am home based so all I have to do is walk to my mail box, not run to fedex. Plus get confirmation the package is delivered. I don't get as good as tracking info.
