Shipping - FSOT *At Your Own Risk Discussions on Welcome!

I have a question regarding selling used diapers - how do I find the cheapest shipping option within the US?

I don't live in the US but I can send things to our US office for free via the mail pouch and then they will be posted upon arriving there. However I need to put stamps on the package first and so I need to know how much it's going to be and I can't just go to the post office and ask for the cheapest option.. I've tried searching the USPS webpages but I am very confused..! Is $5 really the cheapest I can expect for sending 1 diaper in the mail??

Any help will be useful!!
Cheers, Karianne :-)

I've been reading that it costs 2.50 per diaper to mail...... But I don't know personally!

Your cheapest option would probably be Priority Mail Flat rate...they range from having envelopes to boxes and it's one flat rate regardless of weight. So basically as many as you can reasonably cram in a box/envelope will ship for one low rate...this may not be as economical if you are only shipping one. You can order the supplies online but there are minimums and I'm not sure they would ship outside the US (you have to specifically use their boxes/envelopes etc. for the Priority flat rate...at the Post Office the supplies are free but I'm not sure about ordering online). Other than that postal rates are generally based on weight and that would be a little more difficult to calculate since there are so many different kinds of diapers with differing weights. You would need a very accurate scale as I've learned the hard way the USPS is very picky...if you are off by a penny they will return to sender for inadequate postage. :-(
