Team Adam's Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 You've been asking and I'm happy to say we finally have USPS options integrated into site as an economy shipping option. You'll now be able to select USPS First Class and USPS Priority Service for smaller shipments, up to 15lbs. Right now the integration is being tested, so if you're making a purchase soon please consider selecting one of the USPS options offered and if you can share your experience with us here. We want to make sure you are having the same great experience with our economy shipping options. FedEx will still be the preferred option for heavier shipments, but our rate study showed that shipments of 15lbs or less would be less expensive for our customers via USPS. fogle, butters, NowDatsG and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j-r35 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Awesome!!! Been waiting for this myself since I'm in Alaska and Priority shipping is always the cheapest route for packages since they're flate rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluedogGMC Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 That's some good news. USPS around here is even starting to deliver packages on Sunday now I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Very glad this is an option now...hey wait a minute...cost to ship one sticker is $3.22? That's outrageous!!! Can you just put a stamp on the sticker and write my address on the back? Just kidding. Nice to have a cheaper option for those times when you need just a thing or two.

SYMAWD Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Probably the first time I've ever heard anyone say this. I say it all of the time too.

CMDChase Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks. Several times I had wanted to place a small order but the shipping costs were so high, I chose not to purchase. This will make a big difference for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2012CC6.2 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Just finished up a very small order of 9 ea 16 oz Pump Tops, and 2 Stickers. FedEx shipping is actually cheaper at $13.48 than at $14.25 for USPS. I was really hoping the option of USPS would make it more plausible to order small items like this without paying more than the cost of the product for shipping. It doesnt bother me as i'll just add them to a future order, i was just hopeful that i could place small orders without being smoked with shipping.

CTFocusST Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Out of curiosity I just checked to see what it would cost for what I have stored in my cart (couple 4" pads, and couple towels) and it also still showed Fedex to be cheaper ($10) vs $13 for USPS. $13 seems high for USPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 So many factors are used to determine a rate guys not every single person is going to see a crazy difference in shipping prices. Weight, dimensions of the package, your location in relation to us, your location in relation to your nearest hub, commercial vs. residential, etc. We do not determine the rates... the numbers that are displayed come directly from FedEx and USPS based on your zip code and what is in your cart. I'm sure there will be some cases where it doesn't make sense and others where it does. At least now you have the option. 694doorbird and DieselDude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsford Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Eric, I'm guessing it's Flat Rate for USPS. Flat Rate can be a life savor or a killer. 1 bottle won't fit in a "Small" Flat Rate box, you'd have to jump straight to a Medium Box which costs $13 to ship. If Adam's shipped you 1 bottle in a USPS standard Flat Rate box then it's $13 and the box size is over kill but its the only thing the bottle will fit in. If they use the small skinny boxes (like they do) they can ship FedEx a lot cheaper because of smaller size and weight.Flat Rate can be a blessing and a killer all in one box.

Team Adam's Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 That should be clarified - we are not using flat rate. The sizes are not conducive to sending our stuff, plus the quality of the boxes doesn't live up to our standards. We'll be using priority and first class options only which are different than flat rate boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the rate that I saw which was half what was quoted was a small flat rate box. But I can see how that could make shipping a nightmare to add all those different boxes. If I chose just a standard package I got same price quote as Adams website. Not a huge deal to me I was just surprised at the initial difference. I still like fedex over USPS (gets delivered to my door versus a bank of mailboxes at complex entrance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antv20 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) I live in a rural area and use a PO box. I will probably stick with Fedex. They tend to do a better job of getting items to me vs USPS (who really seem to enjoy sending packages/mail back if the sender made a mistake on the address). Hopefully new mailbox (once I detail it) at the house will alleviate those issues. Edited March 31, 2015 by Antv20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
