Hey folks, maybe I’m late to the party and you guys already know about this or other similar services, but I wanted to share something I found a few days ago while looking for alternatives to the USPS click-n-ship:
pirateship.com
It allows you to print USPS postage, but at discounted rates. For instance, a 2.5 pound package going from my house (Charlotte, NC) to Joel is $17.20 via click-n-ship, but is $14.10 with pirateship.com. This is a 18% savings.
Also, through the site you can send small packages (less than a pound) via regular first class postage rather than Priority, which is the only option with click-n-ship. This can save quite a bit. For instance, a small 15 ounce package sent to Joel via click-n-ship (flat rate priority) is $8.45, through pirate ship it is $5.81. This is a 31% savings.
I’m not really sure what the revenue model for them is, I guess they get a “wholesale” rate from the USPS and then mark it up a bit.
Anyway, seems like a good deal to me so I thought I would share. Also, I'm not affiliated with them in anyway, just found them while googling
Take care!
