Downtownv 1,774 Posted October 27, 2018 I wish someone would explain the regional box A/B to me apparently the post office people can't neither..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capt14k 2,052 Posted October 27, 2018 I wish someone would explain the regional box A/B to me apparently the post office people can't neither.....Regional A is like Long Medium Priority. Regional B is like square Medium Priority. Both are slightly smaller. You pay based on how many regions away you are shipping and based on one of 3 weight classes. Under 2lbs, 2-4lbs, over 4lbs. Under 2lbs East Coast is the cheapest for us. There are also APO boxes which are slightly larger flat rate but they are only for shipping to military bases. Same price any base no matter where in the world it is. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you tried any local mom and pop shops, they usually can crank out low volumes in a week? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to use stamps.com or another service. Even Paypal shipping doesn't do regional rate boxes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ebay I know does, PayPal does not, I am pretty sure USPS does but I can’t check since their shipping part of the site is down.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,570 Posted October 27, 2018 Make it easy on yourself. Charge everybody who wants them shipped, $10, no matter the quantity ordered, and ship them anyway you want. The profit you'll get on one will offset the loss on multiples. Besides, you're making a buttful on the shirts anyway. [emoji28] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lambo2936 297 Posted October 27, 2018 15 hours ago, 67gtonut said: Shipping: I prefer NOT to ship these, but I have posted shipping charges below What I intend to do is: I will handle distributing the shirts for North Jersey, I can meet people at RTSP I will also coordinate a day where people can meet me at GSSC to pick up their shirts, we can also designate a person(s) to pick up shirts for other people in the Central Jersey area. I would also like a volunteer from South Jersey to meet me at GSSC to hand off shirts for the South Jersey area. FWIW i work up in Newark once in a while. I Can always pick shirts up while i'm there for people, and they are welcome to swing by my house in Glassboro to pick them up. I Won't go out of my way to deliver them or anything though. Shipping for $6 is very reasonable. Throw em in a bubble mailer and ship em First Class. BTW, Are the shirts going to be ready in Nov/Dec? Or are you just accepting orders until then and distributing them throughout November? I'm in for one or two, for sure. Wondering what brand the blanks are, im sure others might want to know too? Just wondering if i'll be a Small (Generally) or if to go with a Medium. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo2936 297 Posted October 27, 2018 Wait whats the issue with shipping? Stick em in an envelope. I Can hook you up with a box through my supplier, if you're interested LMK. We go through a bunch of padded envelopes.. First class (probably 1 shirt; under 16 ounces) is going to run you about $3.50. Any more than that, priority mail within NJ up to a few pounds (Box will be small, its just shirts; and i can hook you up with boxes too at my rates FWIW) will be well under 10$. I'm talkin 6 or 7 bucks within NJ for half a dozen shirts squished in a box, id bet. I Ship a few thousand boxes a year, but i ship through eBay, so the only discount i get is basically the standard 'online' discount. You can print the labels right thru paypal.

I'm well aware of what it requires I Charge anywhere from 3 to 5$ as a handling fee to cover expenses (Fuel, ink, etc). Was just pointing out that you dont have to spend 14$ on flat rate boxes, there's cheaper alternatives. If you guys need any shipping supplies and are close to Newark i can bring some up for you.

RecessedFilter 222 Posted October 27, 2018 Someone said printing the shirts on other colors like black and grey would be so much more expensive. Like a few bucks expensive or $10+ each expensive? Would be nice to have the option at least.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes..... adding the extra layer on a colored shirt was about $10 more..... not in the cards on this run.... I am not ruling it out for a future run....

I believe the spirit of the question was did you receive at least 3 sealed competitive bids, written to spec and open them in front of a minimum of two other witnesses or a legitimate firm such as Stark & Stark?? Or do we have a case of Tshirt-gate? Dum-Dum-Dum-Dummmmm...... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
