HOW DO YOU SHIP?

HOW DO YOU SHIP?

Postby Parts007 » Wed Mar 02, 2022 3:29 pm

We have regular UPS and FEDEX pickups here at the dealership. But to ship something small locally, I am considering USPS. Frankly FEDEX and UPS are too darn expensive. We have a letter machine that weighs and creates a postage stamp. But nothing for small boxes.

Anyone use USPS? How do you get started?

Mopar teamed up with revolution parts for online part sales. The site teamed up with stamps dot com. to send package specs direct to them. It has worked well so far having the site transmit the info for us.

I imagine that the stamps dot com site has the ability to ship using package size directly on the site. I never checked it out myself but might be worth the time.

Good luck with Revolution Parts, their support is almost non-existent, tried them for several months, our customers could never get logged in correctly, complete waste of time and money

Check out Roadie and download the app. Similar to DoorDash and Uber eats but is delivery service for parts. I had a Tahoe grille shipped from Atlanta to Nashville the same day for $80. Also had a local delivery for thermostat to a city 30 miles away for $15. Service is great.
