Parcel Monkey

Compare Multiple Carrier Quotes

Always use the shipping calculator to view rates from several couriers simultaneously. Comparing services like UPS, FedEx, and USPS side-by-side can often reveal price differences of up to 30%, especially for international destinations where carrier rates vary significantly.

Accurate Package Measurement

To avoid unexpected surcharges or price adjustments after pickup, ensure you enter the precise weight and dimensions of your box. Providing exact measurements helps the tool generate the most accurate discounted quote available from the start.

Choose Drop-off Services

For smaller packages under 44lbs, opting for a carrier drop-off location rather than a home collection often results in lower base rates. This is a simple way to reduce the total cost of your shipment without needing a promotional code.

Access Built-in Carrier Discounts

Parcel Monkey provides automatic access to pre-negotiated commercial rates that are significantly lower than standard retail prices at the post office. These savings are applied automatically during the quoting process, particularly for heavy or international shipments.
