One of our contributors, Anne from Zephyr Hill Blog, reminded me of this awesome tip!
I love shipping through PayPal. Because of their high volume of shipped packages through many carriers, they get the best price for shipping. It is also a very easy and straightforward process.
“BUT”, you may ask, “what if the item isn’t paid for through PayPal? Can I still get the cheapest shipping price?”
YES!! As long as you have a PayPal account it’s easy!
Simply type in http://paypal.com/shipnow, you will be prompted to login, if you haven’t already.
From there you will be able to type in the receivers information and get the volume discount available through PayPal.
There’s my advice on one easy way to save on shipping costs!

I’m so glad you found another venue for sharing this tip! It’s also good to know because the USPS online will not let you buy anything but Priority Shipping labels, and that can get expensive if you have a very small item to mail and want to use First Class.
What a great tip–I never thought about this one; definitely going to be using it this time of the year too!
