If you are shipping clothes there are several things to consider to make sure it’s cheaper for you as well as you give good service. In this blog, we will compare prices and methods to help you pick the best way to ship t-shirts. For FedEx and UPS, a small shipment such as a single t-shirt will exceed the envelope rate, which is why we have put forward these price comparisons.

• USPS First Class Mail – envelope under 1 pound – $2.60 to $5.55
• USPS Priority Mail 2-Day Flat Rate – $7.35 to $8
• UPS Ground (4 Days) – $11
• FedEx Ground (4 Days) – $11

Tips to Save Money on Packaging

• Avoid additional cushioning
• Pick rigid package
• Ship in bulk
• Ship using smallest package possible
• Look for volume discounts

USPS is more affordable for shipping some items, especially for lightweight items. If your package is under one pound you could use First Class Mail for your shipment. For distant recipients, it could get expensive but if you opt for volume discounts you would be able do it at a much cheaper rate.
