USPS shipping charges are coming up too expensive


Guest

Recommended Posts

I am using OCS 2.2 from 3/5/03 and installed USPS Methods v2.4

 

Im shipping a CD that weighs less than a pound.

 

The 'Express Overnight' for US is coming up at $25 or so.

 

It should be about $15.

 

Does the USPS production server know how much my item weighs?

 

If not, how do I make sure it knows?

 

Thanks!

You mentioned, 'check your tare weight' ?

 

What is 'tare'?

 

My handling fee is $1.00

 

How do I tell USPS my weight for the various items being sold?

 

You would think that would be a major factor in deciding what to charge.

 

Thanks!

Under the My Store ... Shipping/Packaging is the Tare weight. Basically the weight of the packaging materials and box.

 

This is added to the products_weight to produce the proper weight for shipping charges.

 

So, a 1 lb product with a 3lb Tare weight is 4lbs.
