How Much Does it Cost to Ship?

To calculate the cost of shipping an item, you must have these three variables: weight, dimensions, and destination zip code.  Weight and dimensions should include the box your item’s in, as well as any packing material used to protect the item.  When looking at the destination zip code, usually the farther away it is, the more expensive it is to ship. Other things to consider: Do you need tracking or insurance on the item?  Do you need it overnighted?  If so, these can also affect the cost.

We can help you with all of these at Goin’ Postal Royal Oak.  30270 Woodward Ave., Royal Oak, MI 48073, (248) 554-0049
