Best UPS shipping method?
I’m trying to take advantage of the new low cost UPS labels in FBM, but I’m trying to figure out the best method to ship them. Seems the only option is either UPS dropoff location or schedule a pickup.
Problem with UPS dropoff is it’s an actual business that doesn’t get paid for it but rather makes money by selling shipping related stuff, so when I show up with a bunch of packages to scan in, they don’t seem happy.
The problem with scheduling a pickup is it costs about $15 per pickup. So I’d have to be over 20 packages to break even. I talked to my local UPS rep and he said they charge no matter what, so even sellers shipping thousands of units weekly get charged about $75. He also said there’s no way I can get discounts since my packages are purchased through Amazon instead of thru my UPS account.
Anyways, I feel bad that my new cheaper shipping label rates are due to the labor of the folks at my UPS dropoff. Anybody figure out a better option for getting UPS packages out the door?
