Shipping Items, Best Service?

[piranhaman00]

Hello,

What is the best (cheapest) way of shipping a package? I am sending some larger items to relatives (<5lbs). I was looking at UPS and USPS and it looks like around 15$? Does that sound right?

Any input appreciated, never shipped before :)

That’s about right. USPS has a flat rate shipping, but that’s only useful if your package is heavy and going far. Depending on from where to where, and the weight, standard shipping with USPS may be cheaper. Fed Ex and UPS a little faster, better tracking and reliable. But if cost is a issue, Post Office (USPS) is the way to go.
