How to choose a shipping carrier
Choose a shipping carrier per package, not per identity. The questions are price, days in transit, drop-off convenience, and whether the destination works for that network.
A short scorecard
| Ask | If yes |
|---|---|
| Is it small and light? | Start with USPS, still check UPS |
| Is it a heavier box? | Expect UPS to compete; compare |
| Do you need a mailbox delivery? | USPS has the last-mile advantage |
| Is there a hard delivery date? | Read the service, not the logo |
| Is FedEx required by the buyer? | Price FedEx outside Oshippy |
