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. (https://ship.pirateship.com/).
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 might have to try it
