So what's your PSM for the individual shipper that doesn't do enough shipping to justify home pickup for a delivery?

I always use USPS because it's so convenient, but what about my local shops that do UPS, FedEx, DHL, and all the others?

Do you use who's closest? Is one less money then the other?

Is there a rule of thumb you follow when packages are a certain size or weight as to ho you might ship it?

I'm not talking about international, but a little info is always good.

I have experience with all shippers over the years, but never noticed any significant advantages or disadvantages to the shipper?

Any packaging ideas? Where to best find boxes? Whatever.

I can tell you they charge too much for cardboard boxes in the stores, but that's no news flash ... some are pretty decent quality.
