I’m sorry but I have to correct this. Being a postal worker I am mandated by the government to do so
Flat rate for priority shipping in the USA starts at $4.90. This would be the box you would use to ship pheromones in. It doesnt matter what it weighs whatever you can stuff in the box costs $4.90 2 to 3 days and can be tracked for a extra 85 cents.
Priority Mail International To Canada and Mexico $11.45 ALL OTHER COUNTRIES including Botswana are $13.45 6 to 8 days
Yes the USPS can and does ship perfume. No you do not have to fill out 10 forms just make the clerk aware of it so that can mark it for special handling. It will add a few days to the delivery of International packages but not Domestic ones. This is because we cant ship it in the belly of a commercial airline like we do normal mail.
You will have to fill out one short (3 lines) custom form for international shipping. The receiver may have to pay a duty fee.
While people think there is a high rate of customers complaints about our service that is a total misconception. We ship 90% of the populations letters and packages everyday. Our complaint to customer ratio is far lower then any other delivery service in the world. You just hear more about it because we ship more packages and mail the other small companies. When Fed EX and UPS cant get the job done which is frequantly they come to us to bail there asses out. I deliver packages not only for USPS but for both fed ex and UPS. We do this in exchange for there airline.
Our prices can not be beat either.
So even though my job sucks I stand proudly behind the service of Postal Service.
I have stores of those things from the past that I havent used. I cant get TAC or TAF from anywhere else. Nols are another story but I dont think your willing to look outside the box for them.
Just to clarify Priority Mail IS based on the size on the package and never once did I say I was a USPS employee nor was I quoting prices. For that matter I also never mentioned what type of service OI should be using at all. I mean as long as we are correcting me as a USPS employee, I would think accuracy is important . After all I clearly said
My intent is based on helping someone not undercharge for shipping. 5-6 dollars is still less than HALF of your quoted prices for USPS. I would say that in actuality I guessed pretty well what a package would cost and got it pretty darn close.
According to the USPS website shipping perfume is considered a hazardous material: USPS - Aviation Mail Security & Hazardous Materials
I stick by what I said. Please, by all means let them know you are shipping a hazardous material that is flammable and most importantly have fun.
I got your PM and just responded. Let me know if you haven’t gotten it as I’ve had a bit of trouble in the past with PMs. I just said I would buy whatever you had left (7-9mL) and to let me know and I will transfer the corresponding amount through Paypal and give you my shipping information.
