Any tips on offering cheaper shipping rates?

We are setting up our site to sell products and right now the easiest way to ship is for me to take the stuff to the UPS Store. There has got to be a better and cheaper way cause these people don`t use lube!

Try Priority Mail or Parcel Post , you can get a stamps.com account and print postage right from your computer, all you need do then is drop off the packages. it also allows you to trace all your deliveries for no extra charge.

Try click N Ship from the USPS. I just started using it for stuff I order online and its GREAT. You can make the payment over the computer and then have them pick it up the next day....I don`t know how much cheaper it will be but it sure is easy
