Question
Hi everyone!
I need to ship parcels from New York to LA to private customers, time is not as important as money.
Weight: 10 lbs.
Dimensions: 15 x 10 x 5 in.
What is the cheapest way to ship this via UPS?
How much would that cost?
Do I need a contract with UPS?
How many shippings a month do I need to have to get a contract?
What about pick-up from my office?
Is there some software provided by UPS to assist me?
How long would the cheapest option take to ship?
Does this option include a track & trace?
Does it include insurance?
Thank you very much for your help! I get very confusing quotes on this issue, so I'd like to sort it out once and for all...
Best, Jennifer
