It depends how much you pay for shipping the more you pay for shipping the faster it will get there.
Use UPS or United States Postal Services.
If the shipping and handling was included in the price that you paid, you don't have to pay any more for it.
Economy shipping does come in UPS. Economy shipping does come in. The time it takes for the economy shipping through UPS to arrive depends on the type of package, size, and shipping order.
Both FedEx an UPS is a good post office. I like going through FedEx when shipping something big.
If you prefer to speak with someone in person you can go to a UPS Store or a shipping specialty store that provides UPS shipping services and have them calculate the costs for you. You can also use the UPS shipping time and cost calculator provided on the UPS website.
USPS shipping rates have been going up so unless you are shipping a small heavy item that can fit in a USPS flat rate box then UPS is the cheaper way to go. UPS also offers cheaper insurance rates.
It depends. Packages are priced by their weight, size, and where they are going to. Also, if you are letting the people at the UPS Store pack your package, make sure you know what the packing fee is, because it is not added in the shipping cost. It is added separately. For example, you come in and let UPS Store pack up some dishes for you. You will pay for the box, the bubble wrap and peanuts, and for them to pack it for you. Then, shipping cost is added. So, you will pay for the shipping, the box, the materials and the packaging fee. If you let them package it, it will be well taken care of, and if anything happens to the package, it's on them. I suggest if you want them to pack up something for you, to get an estimate on the entire price first.
"When listing an item you will need its weight and package type - box, envelope, etc - if you are shipping for free or not, and how much you are paying for postage."
The cheapest shipping option from online (usually fedex ground or ups ground) cost about 5$. But it does take I think 5 business days.

A mailing box can be purchased at many office supply stores and shipping agencies, as well as online. Office supply stores such as Office Depot and Office Max carry generic shipping boxes, while a UPS store or USPS location will carry prepaid boxes and shipping labels.
