So when shipping multiple racquets across the CONUS which is the best service to use?

UPS Ground for the tracking #

or USPS Priority no tracking but you can get a Delivery Confirmation?

Which is the best way to protect yourself if someone does a paypal purchase from you??

thanks in advance, about to sell some stuff and I dont want to get burned

either or is fine but i find ups to be more reliable but more expensice. usps priority is faster but tracking sucks. i usually use usps priority and always buy insurance if anything im shipping is 100$ or more. its only 2.50$ to insure something up to 100$ so why not spend a little extra.

usps delivery confirmation. you can get tracking added for around a $1 i think

depending on the size of the item, try to use a flat rate box cuz you can get burned pretty easily on **** if your buyer is across the country.

USPS with deliver confirmation. Always the best solution.
If you prepare your shipment online $0.
19 for deliver confirmation else $0.80 for in store.

I've been selling on the bay a lot and USPS has always worked for me. I use a lot of their priority mail products. Flat rate boxes and envelopes are great if everything fits. I like to grab 2 boxes and put them together to ship racquets. Costs about $10 to ship from west coast to east coast.

It depends. If you live near a UPS store (owned by UPS), it may be cheaper to use them. I live near a FedEx store, and it is often cheaper for me to send using FedEx, especially if I can send to a business address, than it is for me to use USPS.
 
I need some advice shipping out a tennis bag. Anybody know where to find supplies longs enough to fit one? It's about 28 inches. I usually ship racquets through bubbled mailers but their not wide or high enough for a bag
