| Hello Bricklink Friends,
I got my first sale yesterday (Yay!) and I went through all the Papypal nonsense
to print the shipping label through Shaipstation, and it ended up charging me
only $3.88 for a 5.2 oz. First Class Package. When I looked it up on postcalc.usps.com
it said it would be $5.20. Has anyone had this issue? Will my package get delivered?
Does anyone definitively know if the buyer or I (I hope it's not the buyer!)
will get charged the extra if it was $5.20, not $3.88? Is it possible ShipStation
hasn't updated their prices since the new USPS price hike?
Thanks for any help on this,
Upstate_Brickz

PayPal/Shipstation gives you a discount on the postage cost. Your buyer should
not receive any postage due notice.

PayPal/Ship Station, Easyship, Pirate Ship, and Go Shippo all offer commercial
plus pricing. Pirate Ship is free and offers UPS discounts as well. I would recommend
trying them if you have issues with the PayPal/Ship Station system.

Shipstation along with Pirate Ship use commercial pricing so you get a discount
essentially. I would think that the rates should be close, but here is Pirate
Ships rates. Looks like your rate is 5-8 oz, zone 6.

| Thanks for all the quick replies. I guess I just wasn't expecting THAT much
of a discount. I'll be sure to check out Pirate Ship once I get a few more
orders under my belt.
