Not only is this website a free service, but it can save you money in shipping costs. Whether you are an avid e-bay trader sending out packages or a grandparent mailing birthday presents, Shipgooder.com will help you find the best rate.

Just enter the "to" and "from" zip codes, and the package weight. Then click on the "Click here to get the best rate!" button and you will get a list of the common carriers and their charges. Shipgooder gives you rates from FedEx, UPS, UPS, Purolator, the U.S. Postal Service, Canada Post, and local carriers. It works quickly and accurately.

For a recent mailing, I used Shipgooder to find the 2-day rates from various carriers. The price range was from $9.80 using a U. S. Post Office flat-rate box to $47.07 for UPS 2nd day air. Guess which one I chose?

You can also enter package dimensions and view a map showing the starting point, destination, and the distance that the package will travel.One thing that I really liked was that Shipgooder showed the differences for the U.S. Postal Service flat-rate boxes, priority mail, and parcel post. So if you are heading to the post office you can easily determine if you need to box the package yourself or use one of the post office flat-rate boxes.

Shipgooder.com currently works for all U. S. and Canadian shipping. Hopefully, it will someday include International rates, as well.

It's quick and easy, and it can save you money. It doesn't get much better than that!
