It's cheaper to ship with USPS for lightweight (under 2-5 lbs) domestic packages, especially with Ground Advantage or Flat Rate, while UPS is generally better for heavier (over 10 lbs) or larger items, offering better value for bulkier shipments and more reliable tracking, though both have surcharges and costs vary by weight, distance, and speed needed. For the best price, always compare rates for your specific package details (weight, dimensions, destination).

The cheapest way to ship a package in the USA is usually USPS Ground Advantage for most items under 70 lbs or light items via First-Class, while heavier packages might find savings with discounted FedEx or UPS Ground/Home Delivery, especially when using shipping platforms for commercial rates; always compare rates using your package's weight, dimensions, and destination on carrier sites or comparison tools like Easyship or ShipStation.

International shipping means moving goods across national borders, from one country to another, involving complex steps like customs clearance, specific documentation, duties/tariffs, and using various transport modes (air, sea, road). It differs from domestic shipping by requiring compliance with different countries' laws, managing currency exchange, language barriers, and potentially higher costs, but it opens up global markets for businesses and consumers.
