Getting ready to accept a quote for my first shirts out of my line.

Would like information on how much are ya'll costing for shipping nowadays and sources for shipping. I downloaded the USPS cliknship, but confused about what to exactly select based on my packaging. I have a paypal account, but would also like to know about the least expensive way to acquire payment without occurring additional charges.

I'll be shipping one shirt at a time most likely.
Here are my costs so far with items included minus the shirt. These are costs per from buying a qty of 100. Was going to buy in bulk but decided against it until I'm able to gain more customers.

Thanks for the help.

Gospel Tract: $.05
PolyBag (9 x 12): $.08
PolyMailer (10 x 13): $.09
TissuePaper (20 x 30): $.21

Total cost minus shirt: $.44

If you are just shipping one T-Shirt, my advise is to ship them first class rather than priority mail, which is just about the only option you will have on click n ship. Unfortunately without using stamps.com (which has a monthly fee) you can't print a prepaid label at home for first class mail from the USPS website. You have to pay for it at the window...which is a pain. But in my experience, it is the cheapest way to shirt ONE t shirt. And literally that is all you can send and get it under the weight to go as a first class parcel. Then the shipping is around $2.24 for the first class parcel and the same parcel sent priority mail is gonna run you about $5.60. I send mine in a poly mailer... good luck

You can preprint USPS first class labels on Paypal's multi-order shipping option.

Well, I went to the post office and the shirt with items weighed 10 oz.

I selected the option large envelope, since I don't believe the poly mailer with shirt is no more than 3/4" thick and weighs less than 13 oz. The cost was $2.87

Using the package selection, cost was $3.58.

Is using the large envelope selection okay, I dont' see why not...
