Discount Shipping Labels

[jtwill98]

I recently built a custom cedar vault (20"x18"x12", weighing about 24 lbs) to safely encase my parents' urns for burial. When I started checking around for the best rates to ship the chest to my sister's home in Western New York, I was shocked to find that standard prices ranged from $80 to over $150.

While hunting for a better deal, I stumbled across a website called Pirate Ship. It allows you to buy UPS and USPS labels at deeply discounted commercial rates. I decided to sign up and check their pricing—and I am glad I did. I was able to purchase a UPS label for just $39 and shipped the package without any issues.

If you have a heavy or bulky package to ship and want to avoid paying full retail prices, I highly recommend checking them out to see how much you can save: Pirate Ship..

Sorry to hear about your parents, that's a really nice way to pay homage to them

That can't be legit, can it?

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Let us know when/if it arrives and that'll instill a bit more confidence.

I was worried about the site being legit too, but everything went smoothly. I bought the label, dropped the box off at UPS, and they took it. I'm tracking it on their site now and will confirm once it lands.

I just bought a label from Pirate Ship-Ground advantage for shipping a rod Fla to GA $19.73 including $2 for $150 Insurance.

83x4x4" 5# box. I googled the tracking # is legit

And USPS accepted the box. Let's see what happens next

I will update with Rod photos when it arrives & the builder in the rod section.The vintage reel slated for it TBD later.

Update, my sister received her package last evening well ahead of Friday's ETA.   

I did some research, and outside the sketchy Pirate Ship name, the co-owners wanted to build a company (started in 2014) with some personality that flipped the bird to traditional retail corporate culture. The negative is their contracts are only with UPS and USPS -- No FedEX or DHL.     

I'm quite satisified with the process and heavy discounted pricing.
