Did you know that there\u2019s a simple way to save even more with Chit Chats? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may already be saving on postage without even realizing it. Depending on the size of your U.S. shipments, you may qualify for special pricing from our partner carrier, USPS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the benefit of cubic shipping<\/strong>, an additional discounted rate from USPS for packages up to 20 lb but no more than 0.5 cubic feet in volume, 1.0 cubic feet in volume for Chit Chats U.S. Edge<\/a>. Chit Chats directly passes on this discount from USPS to you so that you can always save big on your small, heavy packages!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is cubic shipping?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cubic shipping is a cost-effective option that helps you save with pricing that\u2019s not based on shipment weight. Two things impact cubic shipping rates: the shipment’s destination<\/strong> and its cubic dimensions<\/strong>. This discount gives major savings for your compact and heavy shipments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you want to ship an 18 lb kettlebell to the United States, you would typically pay for postage by the pound. However, if after packaging your kettlebell, it measured less than 0.5 cubic feet in volume or 1.0 cubic feet in volume for Chit Chats U.S. Edge, it would qualify for the cubic shipping discount. Your postage would then cost the same as any other shipment with this cubic volume and destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubic shipping differs slightly from some flat-rate services where weight and destination do not influence the postage rates but the item must fit within specific measurements or packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
