How to save cash on shipping

A few folks have inquired so I figured I'd share what I found and use frequently to save money on standard shipping charges.

I am not in any way affiliated with them. I started looking around for ways to save on your typically high shipping charges from FedEx and UPS. As an example, a 15x15x12 box that weighs 20 lbs, if you were to go to the UPS site and ship it across the lower 48, would run you anywhere from 70 to 100 dollars or more depending on insurance.

Through parcel monkey that same shipment would run around $35.

I am not 100% sure how they do it, but I think they buy up a bulk rate and resell them to site users at a slight markup. In the end we both win. I've shipped 8 or so packages ranging in sizes and weights from 70lbs or less and have never paid more than $55.

A great example was the label I paid $30 for I emailed to Mr Ritter so he could send my cylinders and heads back. It got sent next day air from UPS. I didn't pay extra or anything.

Just thought I'd share what works for me.
