  So, how does these work? I guess I mean, what's the catch? They aren't
just going to hand over cheaper shipping rates out of the kindness of their hearts.
I can't find anything about a monthly shipping fee or a charge per label.
So, what's the deal with that?

There's no catch. You pay less if you purchase postage through one of these
sites than you would if you purchased labels directly from USPS.

Behind the scenes, I believe that shipping platforms like PirateShip, Shippo,
and Chit Chats are purchasing labels in bulk from USPS, for a discount. This
is a common practice in many industries.

+1
It’s even something that can be seen on some sites for example Canada posts business
account even says if you purchase x amount of labels you get this % discount
if you purchase up to x amount you’ll get a higher discount, etc

Do these require or expect you to be shipping a minimal amount every month, or
do they work even if you are only sending packages occasionally?


Thanks for your input

Pirate Ship works OK, at least for USA to USA shipments. I have not done any
cross border shipments with it.

I can confirm that it works well sending to Canada as well - I know others on
BL use it for international shipments only, so maybe they can weigh in.

For myself I like Pirate Ship a lot - I can send via USPS or UPS at heavily discounted
rates, and their support is great.

Thanks for the feedback

Hello Sharif,

You can't post your email address public on the forum, if you want to contact
BrickLink you can open a ticket here:

https://helpdesk.bricklink.com/Main

But if you have a suggestion it would be better to post it on the Suggestions
forum topic where other buyers can vote for it.

https://www.bricklink.com/messageList.asp?ID=8

Hello again,

My apology. I didn’t know that I can’t add my email address. The ticket is requiring
my log in and every time I try it says tgat it’s wrong or unrecognized even though
I am logged in to my account already.

I sent a message to the help desk but not sure if it was received. I have been
trying to communicate with BrickLink admins since December but no luck

Please advise

Regards,

Sharif
