Post Shipping question
How do you ship? I always do First Class mail with DC, but I have noticed frequently I send something off after something I order and what I sends makes it to other people before I get mine. Do most people do first class or parcel post or media? Just wondering the common way to ship...

WSS! First Class is often just as fast as Priority but things over 13 oz within the U.S. and over 4 lbs internationally have to go Priority.

I didn't even think about bigger things (I don't sell them often) but all bigger bags I do flat rate boxes.

Flat rate is always priority...so I use that with f.r.e if the item ends up being more than $5 to ship (like something small but heavy)-- like a jjb hip.
But mostly I use first class. It's cheap, d.c via PayPal is free.
I never used media mail...it's illegal to send anything that isn't cd, DVD, etc that way.
And parcel is pricey.

I use first class mail for under 13 oz and priority for over. Unlike priority, first class is supposed to take 2-5 days rather than 2 days.

Under 13oz, First Class.
Over 13oz usually a flat rate envelope/box. It is worth the few extra $ to send it priority vs parcel. You can't use media mail unless there is only media items in the box, dvds, books, cds, ect.
