If you ship smaller items (under 1 pound) First Class, prices went up in January, just not as dramatically! What does that mean? You will charged more for larger, heavier items, even ones shipped closer to your home or office.įor me this necessitated the change back to calculated shipping from free shipping which I had offered since October 2019. Previously, only Priority Mail parcels being delivered to Zones 5-9 received DIM pricing. Priority Mail parcels in all shipping zones will now receive DIM pricing for packages over 1 cubic foot.

The Dimensional Weight (DIM) divisor for Priority Mail packages over 1 cubic foot (1728 cubic inches) is being adjusted from 194 to 166.

In January 2019 the USPS made a change to first class packages, making the pricing zone-able (meaning you get charged more to ship further away0.Īdditionally, June 23rd they are going to change the way that they charge dimensional shipping rates…

This post will walk you through EXACTLY how to ship on Etsy! Update June 2019 You can think of me as that nerdy friend who really cares about a topic that you just need the basics on (until a crisis comes up!) I am super lucky to have an Ebay friend so we talk about shipping A LOT and have bounced ideas and great resources that we have found over the years off of each other. Like every Etsy seller who ever started shipping, I have made my share of mistakes so I will lay them all out here so you don't have to pay for your own mistakes! When you are getting started on Etsy, everything seems scary but the worst is understand Etsy shipping procedures! Should you do your shipping on Etsy (yes), should you ship internationally (yes) or should you go to the post office to do your shipping (no!)
