Does anyone have experience with shipping products that are inexpensive?
My product is almost ready for launch and I started looking into choosing the right shipping method. We also have to set up the shipping method on the website.
I talked to UPS and Fed-Ex. It seems like their prices are way too high for my product. The shipping cost exceeds the cost of the product. I'm still waiting for their local sales reps to call me back to see if something can be worked out.
Right now it looks like my only option is the USPS. They're, by far, the cheapest. Only problem is that I hear stories that they lose a lot of packages or that many packages arrive very late. Also, their customer service is terrible. Everyone I spoke to seems like they know nothing and connect me with another person who knows nothing. One rep told me to use stamps.com or endicia.com.
Before I jump into stamps.com, does anyone have a better solution?
