We came across a very nice article by Blissfully Domestic that performed a comparison of shipping costs from these three carriers. The conclusion was that there was little difference in cost between the three carriers. We don’t entirely agree with that conclusion. That all depends on who you are and how much you ship. The fact is that businesses that have greater volume get a greater discount that those that do not. However, from the perspective of a home office ebay or ebay type shipper that is probably the case. The article by Blissfully Domestic appears to be targeted for shoppers and not shippers, anyway. In effect Blissfully Domestic would appreciate it very much if you got your shopping done early and did not wait for the last minute. In any case we think this article has merit and we recommend it.
Good Luck and Good Shipping
