Video quality looks amazing. Tfs

[@heatherbrooks8918]

Well, never mind. I should of listened to the whole video, before commenting! 😂 it's amazing how much I learn from you! I had no idea that there was 2 separate cubic rate programs! Thank you!

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

Just keep in mind that boxes are sold by INSIDE dimensions, so the OUTSIDE of the 10x4x4 will be more like 10.25x4.25x4.25, or 0.107 cubic feet, bringing you into the 0.2 cubic foot pricing. Whether that's enough to trip any automatic size checks, I don't know.

Round to the closest 1/4 inch

Good Stuff!

[@jorejaha]

there is a little difference on dimensions between USPS and fed ex/UPS. According to postal explorer 1.4.2 Determining Dimensional Weight for Rectangular Parcels and 604.7.1.3 Rounding, you will round off dimesions to the nearset whole but Fedex and UPS ALWAYS round up. You go over, you round up. And in my experience considering the true box dimensions a 12x12x12 box is NEVER usable for 1 cu ft.. You should not use nominal box sizes as your dimensions. Always measure it and round up with these two companies. A 48x6x6 box is typically 49x7x7. there will be more and more charged overages in the future.

I completely agree that the ups discount on PS is way more than eBay’s discount which is a bit shocking. I use eBay mostly but always check PS because sometimes ups ground or ups 2nd day air is a better deal then usps ground advantage of going to west coast for me.

You start talking math and my brain shuts down! I compared all of the shipping from today's items and eBay was the same price as Pirate Ship. I'm sure there will be times it's cheaper, but not today. lol

[@whodidit99]

I Ground Save a good service. I read that you can never win a claim for damage or lost mail because both carriers will blame each other. Is there insurance for this service?

[@heatherbrooks8918]

I don't think cubic shipping is any slower, at least I've never heard it or experienced it.

[@johnathin0061892]

It isn't slower. It goes via the same distribution as all ground USPS packages.

[@carltonleggett8222]

I only ship via eBay using USPS Ground Advantage. All of my labels print showing a cubic figure. It will not show ounces. I do know many times I will change a measurement from like 14x11x1 to 14x11x3 and it causes me to pay an additional shipping fee.

[@carltonleggett8222]

This morning I just shipped a 13x10x2 package 2 lbs to CA. Ground Advantage eBay shipping label shows .20 cubic cost $9.17. I also imported into Pirate Ship and results was exactly the same $9.17

[@the_Texas_Bandit]

Wow, guess I should ask for my money back on this degree..... I have to use math ?????

[@wferrol]

Does eBay rates include cubic shipping options for Priority Mail? Seems in the past I have checked and never say any difference in rates for .5 cubic packages regardless of actual size.
