I havent ship for years now, how much shipping cost these days with Uline small shipping box for UPS priority overnight ?
TIA.
 
For me its usually $50.

Used to be $40, not sure if the flat rate is 50 or everyone is now charging for boxes themselves (some specify so).
 
All the sellers online are around $35. Seems fair all things considered. Nice boxes, some thermal, packaging and climate control bags.
Shippers with contracts get VERY different rate than you do with a one off package. They do so by waiving rights to guarantees and by agreeing to volume needed to keep the contract.

What a coral shipper may ship for $50 overnight could easily cost you $150 overnight, the prices are that different.

What about USPS overnight, Uline smallest shipping boxes.
 
its still often contextual.

Sometimes they get you on the weight of the package, funnily enough 2 days ago I was picking up a box of tarantulas at a fedex holding facility, when I ordered them the shipping was $50 priority overnight... they were actually delayed in the shipping so it was instead 2 days. The guy infront of me was shipping a box of something overnight and they were quoted $700 for overnight or $250 for 5 day delivery. I have no clue what it could be but my jaw dropped, mostly from how nonchalant they agreed to the $700 overnight one...

Idk I never shipped personally but they might have bulk deals with shipping multiple things at once, no clue you gotta ask your UPS.

No bulk deals without a contract. Also - I have not looked in ages, but some service levels used to be only available with contract accounts (AM, delivery, etc.). That said, those options were typically available at the counter, just not for 'pickup' at your house or business. I think the 'puckup' or 'drop-off' without contract is flat rate services based on source and destination and box size with weight limit.
 
For me, UPS shipping is always upwards of 50 bucks! I always try it get fedex shipping if at all possible. For me it’s more affordable.
 
your best bet is using a 3rd party that passes some of their savings to you, I think one was mentioned above, I see their commercials often, and direct shipping without a business agreement is expensive.
