Shipping Fees

Simple and Transparent Shipping Fees with PostScan Mail

At PostScan Mail, we strive to keep our shipping rates simple and transparent. Our goal is to provide our customers with clear and straightforward pricing without any hidden fees. Here’s a breakdown of our fees and services:

Our standard shipping fees are designed to be as simple as possible. We charge $2 for the first item and an additional $0.50 for each subsequent item. On top of this, the cost of shipping is determined based on the rates provided by the carrier you choose. This ensures you get a fair and competitive price for your shipments.

To offer you the best possible service, we have partnered with several major carriers, providing you with a range of shipping options. Our partners include USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and Canada Post. Each carrier has its own strengths, whether it’s affordable rates for small packages, reliable expedited shipping, or competitive international shipping options. This variety allows you to select the carrier that best meets your needs for each shipment.

Consolidation Service

Our virtual mailbox service is designed to make your shipping experience as efficient and cost-effective as possible. One of the key features of this service is the ability to consolidate multiple mail items into a single shipment. By combining several packages or letters into one, you significantly reduce the number of individual shipments you need to make.

This consolidation process offers several advantages. First, it helps limit the overall weight of your shipment by reducing the amount of packaging material used. Instead of shipping multiple boxes, you only have one, which often results in lower shipping costs. Additionally, by minimizing the dimensions of your shipment, you can avoid higher fees associated with larger packages. This can be particularly beneficial when shipping internationally, where size and weight can greatly influence the cost.

By consolidating your mail items, you not only save money but also contribute to a more sustainable shipping process by reducing the amount of packaging waste. Our virtual mailbox service ensures that all your items are carefully packed into a single, compact package, ready for shipment. This streamlined process helps you manage your mail more efficiently, providing a hassle-free experience while keeping your shipping expenses under control.

Accurate Pricing

At PostScan Mail, we understand the importance of knowing exactly what you’ll pay for shipping before you finalize your shipment. That’s why we have developed a virtual mailbox system that ensures accurate and transparent pricing. The cost of shipping is calculated based on several key factors: the number of items you are shipping, their combined weight, the dimensions of the package, and the destination to which the package is being sent.

Our virtual mailbox system takes all these variables into account to provide you with an exact price for each shipment at the time of shipment. This means that when you are ready to send your items, you will receive a precise quote that reflects the true cost of shipping. There are no hidden fees or unexpected charges; the price you see is the price you pay.

This level of transparency allows you to plan your shipping expenses more effectively and avoid any surprises. Whether you are shipping domestically or internationally, our system ensures that you have a clear understanding of the total cost upfront. This commitment to accurate pricing is part of our broader goal to provide a hassle-free and reliable shipping experience for all our customers.

International Shipping

Shipping internationally can often be complex, but at PostScan Mail, we strive to simplify it for you. Our service handles all necessary details to ensure your packages reach their destination smoothly and efficiently. Here’s what you can expect:

We generate customs forms and provide commercial invoices, detailing the contents and value of your package to facilitate customs clearance. Additionally, we offer tracking numbers for all international shipments whenever the carrier provides this option, allowing you to monitor the progress of your package from departure to arrival.

Please note that some international locations might not provide exact pricing at the time of shipment due to varying carrier availability and shipping infrastructure compared to North America. While we strive to offer precise pricing, certain locations may present challenges affecting upfront pricing accuracy.

Despite these challenges, our commitment to a reliable and transparent shipping experience remains steadfast. We work closely with our international carriers to ensure your shipments are handled with the utmost care and efficiency, no matter their destination.
