This includes product weight, size, shape, travel distance, etc. Shipping rates are often categorized by product weight, <a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/what-are-usps-zones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">travel distance<\/a>, and shipping speed. Depending on the weight and shape of your products, you may choose to utilize flat rate packages (different carriers have different flat rate package options).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ship-by-package-weightnbsp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ship by package weight <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Package weight has a big impact on shipping rates.

If your package is between <\/span><b>1 and 5 pounds, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USPS Priority Mail will be the most affordable option. For heavier packages (over 5 pounds), FedEx Ground and UPS Ground will likely be the cheapest shipping services.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ship-by-shipping-speednbsp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ship by shipping speed <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may choose to offer customers different options for delivery speed. If you want to offer express shipping, such as 2-day or overnight shipping, knowing the cheapest options will help bring down costs for you and your customers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USPS does not offer guaranteed 2-day delivery times. If you\u2019re looking to offer 2-day shipping\u2014check out <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fedex.com\/en-us\/shipping\/2-day-shipping.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;FedEx 2 day shipping <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for second day business delivery and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ups.com\/us\/en\/shipping\/services\/domestic\/2nd-day-air.page\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UPS 2nd day air.&nbsp;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need an <a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/what-are-the-cheapest-overnight-shipping-options\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">overnight delivery option<\/a>, UPS and FedEx offer the most competitive rates and convenient service.

Some shipping services include default <a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/how-to-file-a-claim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shipping insurance<\/a> up to a certain price. If you\u2019re shipping expensive products such as tech, jewelry, or furniture, investing in <a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/shipping-insurance-avoid-scary-shipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shipping insurance<\/a> is likely necessary. There are ways to save to make insurance more affordable.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carriers offer their own shipping insurance options, but these can be more costly. Using a third party insurance provider like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipsurance.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shipsurance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help you save $.20-.30 per $100 product value.
