For heavier packages, especially those traveling long distances, the FedEx One Rate program is a great option if your item fits in their specific packaging. The FedEx One Rate program is a game-changer. It provides flat-rate pricing with faster delivery times than USPS. It's ideal for items that are heavy but compact.
Also, independent shipping stores like ours can compare rates across FedEx, USPS, and UPS. This gives customers the best options without having to visit multiple locations.
One warning: Be careful with online shipping companies offering "too good to be true" prices. Many of them charge hidden fees later on. Always read the fine print.
