So, I’m looking to ship out a phone using a COD (cash on delivery) service. If the item itself is valued at $2,700, how much extra is the buyer actually going to be on the hook for in terms of fees—or whatever they call them—to the USPS??!?! 🤷 I just really don't want to end up in a situation where the whole package gets sent right back to me... 🙄

um, I was just wondering, roughly how much would it cost to ship a package weighing somewhere between 30 and 40kg? According to the USPS website, they charge about $0.75 or $0.90 for every single kilogram over the initial 10—so, if I'm doing the math right, I’d end up paying maybe $35 - $13. 😕 Is it just me, or does that amount seem way too low?🤷

Wait, did the folks over at Duke Energy get rid of that online price estimator? I’ve been hunting for it everywhere but I can't seem to find it anywhere😕

It’ll show up right there on the screen if you select the option to send it as a package. $34😲...just like a printed flyer. $13.

So, I actually sat down and crunched all those numbers myself—really went through the whole thing—but honestly? I was just hoping someone might come along and suggest a different way to look at it. You know how it is, sometimes you get so stuck in your own logic that you need a fresh perspective to snap you out of it. And then, well, I ended up getting totally distracted by those... $33☕🙄

It’s definitely a printed document.

So, I’m looking at sending two books over to New York City—they probably weigh somewhere around a pound or so total. Does anyone know what the shipping costs might look like for something like that? ☕
