Save on Package Shipping

If you're sending a gift to someone this holiday season or if you sold an item on ebay - here's a useful tool that can help you with the package shipping. It's called Shipping Sidekick (www.shippingsidekick.com). Their service allows you to compare parcel delivery rates from the US Postal Service (USPS) and 3 major commercial package carriers: DHL, Federal Express (FedEx) and United Parcel Service (UPS). All you need to do is enter your package details, where it's coming from & where it's going to, plus any additional services. According to CEO Jacob Lakhany the cheapest option is "often the one you least expected". The website delivers very reliable and accurate shipping rates because it takes the information straight from the package carriers in real time.

You can also track your package with any carrier right from the same page. They also provide a link to their shipping partner eshipper once you're ready to send your packages. Make sure you visit their Shipping Tips page for useful packaging advice. Shipping Sidekick used to charge the subscription fee but recently they started to offer their service for free.
