8. Your customers pay for the actual size and distance
the box is traveling rather than how much it weighs.

TO SEND SUBSCRIPTION BOXES

10. The most expensive part of delivery is mail carriers driving
their massive trucks to your customer’s home or office.

based on the delivery area, which can quickly drive up your shipping costs.

12. SmartPost and SurePost eliminate these surcharges by picking up
the package from your location and delivering it the final zone.
From there the customers' local USPS branch will make the 'last mile' delivery.

13. Then your customers' local mail carrier
adds those packages to his daily route.
