FedEX pricing question

Anyone know what it costs to ship a bubble mailer via FedEx? I've about had it with USPS.

A lot more. Good luck using them. They all have horror stories. USPS is still best deal on the planet.

I think it would move Fedex Ground at the cheapest and that would be about 3 buck I think but not really sure. So if you charge 3 for shipping your truly paying that. I jsut to work for them for 5 years and I never sent anything thru in a bubble mailer. But I did use there ground service since I could ship anything up to 70 for 2.45 back then. Employee discount for sure. lol

I would imagine that 99% of your packages are home delivery so you're looking at a minimum of $6 to $7 a package.

It has to be cheaper than eating $500 worth of lost cards, in a two month time frame. In July usps lost a Harper A&G auto that was shipped to me. Last week they lost a Mantle/DiMaggio ttt booklet that i shipped. Just super frustrated and looking for other options.

Whenever you buy something big, use a CC so you can get your money back thru them..

And if you sell a high end item, ship it using "REGISTERED" so each clerk along the route has to sign for it.. If the item gets lost, it's the clerks responsibility..

I was talking with one of the clerks at the post office I go to and they know someone that lost a package worth $25K.. they had to pay for the item out of their pocket!!!

Instead of getting insurance through USPS, use Ebay's Shipcover insurance. I've had a few items break that I had covered with them and it's a lot less hassle, much quicker, and cheaper as well.

Try packing it better :lol: And never write Fragile on a box. It is French for drop kick, and it is in the UPS/FedEx manful as who cares what the box says.

Was in a bubble mailer with a label printed through eBay. The address couldn't have been more clear and not much packing to it.

Will look into the eBay ship cover. Will never buy usps insurance again.
