that if you print your UPS postage off of their website that you automatically get daily pickup rates, which can be up to $4.00 cheaper per package? This is using ground which is 5 days. I mailed a pckg today that was 12 lbs for $7 through UPS. Even without the hikes USPS would have been $16. way good deal! Thought I would share Also, if anyone has any ?'s about UPS shipping and prices or whatever, my sis works for UPS corporate, so LMK!

is there a website? do you think UPS would be useful for someone that doesn't ship a lot, and/or ships lighter packages (under 2-3 pounds)? Thanks!

I know this is stupid, but I've never shipped UPS. Do you have to be a business?

www.ups.com They are good for both large and small packages. Also, as far as how often you ship, it doesn't matter. You dont have a minimum that you have to ship, and you just print the postage, then drop it off to a carrier(Mailboxes etc. is one) HTH someone!

Anyone can ship through UPS. You can even use paypl to ship thru UPs, but I am not sure if the rates are the same :)

They did seem way high to me. For me to ship 1 lb to Ky from UT is 3.92 with insurance! 3 lbs is 4.76! These rates are better than priority for sure with the rate hike!
