I run two small stores on a beach. We never focused on creating a website or online sales because it didn’t seem like it would be worth it, considering most customers buy our items as a souvenir after visiting our beaches.
However, now I am getting a lot of requests for shipping since my state is not allowing out-of-staters in unless they quarantine for 14 days.
I have been shipping through USPS and the shipping can get pretty expensive. I have been using priority mail shipping because it only costs a little more than regular shipping and includes insurance.
None of my customers have complained about the shipping price but I would like to get it down if possible. For example it costs $8.40 to ship a small padded envelope that would fit one or two tshirts and $15.05 to ship a medium box that could fit maybe 5 or 6 tshirts.
Have any of you used Shippo or any other similar website to help get shipping costs down? Any advice is appreciated!
