Flat rate UPS SHIPPING

[4dogloves]

Hi there,  @members

we sell homemade dog treats and cakes.  I have customers out of our town but still within the state.  I was previously sending people their terraria through regular mail.  But like everything else, those rates have almost doubled.  When I send treats I don’t think they are even 2 pounds, 3 pounds max. I always have used the blue bubble wrap mailer for them to stay away from boxes for a lower cost.  My question is this, we finally started to use square website and I would like to take advantage of the UPS.  I won’t need boxes really and I was thinking about just sending them in the mailer bags.  Will UPS recognize this as a flat rate?  How exactly does this work?  I would like to other peoples personal experiences 

thanks Debbie

I’m in the same boat Debbie. I don’t do cakes, but I do homemade dog treats, antler chews, and rope toys. I have customers within the state that I ship treats to, as well as customers across the country that I ship antlers and toys too. I currently use USPS but purchase my postage thru Pirate Ship. It gives a good discount, but with rising rates it’s still not cheap. I’m interested to see other peoples responses here. I’ve also been thinking about coming up with a cost effective way to offer free shipping.
