Is there a place on the web to find out the least expensive
way to send a package easily & quickly?

JUNEC

WWW.USPS.COM ??

MTS

Not a lot of information to go on....

To St. Louis?
To New York?
To Japan?
To Afghanistan?
Is it big or little?
Does it fit in a flat rate box?
What are you sending?

You can check out usps.com , fedex.com, ups.com, dhl.com.

USPS Flat rate works well for me and the Post Office supplies the boxes for me Small 6.20 large 11.?? and there is also med somewhere around 8.00

Hope this helps -- you can check on USPS.gov

Flat rate envelope $4.95
Medium box 10.95
Large box 14.95

If it fits it ships. Anywhere is the US

if you know the size of the package- the weight- the zip code where you are sending it too- and how much insurance you want on it all you have to do is visit any of the places that ship packages...ie: post office, ups, fed ex, dsl, ect...plug in the information- the shipping charges come right up

I am asking this question in general - not for a specific
package. I will re-phrase the question & hope it makes sense. Except for checking each method of shipping, getting a price & comparing, I was wondering if there is a place where you can enter info. such as weight, size, to & from etc. & ask for cheapest rate. (I am looking for a
quicker, easier way) Thank you

I sent a quilt to my sister the post office gave me a box and the price was $5.20 and it went priority mail it was cheaper than the flat rate box.

You can go to all three -- the USPO, FedX and UPS ONLINE to get pricing estimates. I tend to always end up at the PO -- it's cheaper and easier to send items.

I ship everything from home. USPS gives you a 5% discount. You can enter zip codes to get the prices. I love not having to go to the post office.
