Proper Packaging: Tips & Tricks for Saving Money using USPS Priority Mail

A favorite quip of Amine Khechfé, co-founder and general manager of Endicia, goes something like this: “If you’re not using the USPS, then you’re leaving money on the table.”

There’s merit to his saying – the USPS typically offers the most economical pricing for shipping packages weighing less than ten pounds. As an ecommerce retailer, no doubt saving money is top of your list, and that’s where Priority Mail comes into play.
