Default Click n Ship question

Due to the madness of the Asylum I have now received and shipped a good number of boxes. I use Click n Ship most of the time to print labels and pay for postage. I have received some odd sized boxes in the past such as shoe boxes, smaller than medium but still cube shaped boxes, non-priority plain Jane brown boxes, and an assortment of other random sizes/styles, all of which have the Click n Ship labels on them. However, when I use Click n Ship I see no options for anything but the "regular" priority boxes. Does anyone have insight on this?

Thanks in advance!

The non-USPS supplied box shipping price is the 3rd one down on the "service and postage options" screen. Right below the Express mail and right above the priority flat rate envelope.

Found it! Never would have occurred to me. Thanks Adam! So, I guess the box size doesn't matter in this situation?

Any info on the random priority box sizes? Do I just use the option detailed by Adam?

Any boxes that are not Flat Rate are based upon weight and size. You need to input both into the ClickNShip to get the right price.

Unless they are over a certain size all you need is the weight. I believe over 84 inches total length and girth.

I know the box i sent to Keith<Big Ash> with the weight and everything since it had buncha stuff plus a shoe box in it with styrofoam and a heavy thing big coffee mug and over 12 oz of coffee only cost me $15.75 shipping. and at the post office when i was asking the guy what I should do since they didn't have a box to fit it in he measured my big box full of packaging materials and said with the weight itd only cost me .75 to use that box. So like I said a large box and lotsa weight was only 15.75

It will work just fine. All you have to do is follow the example above, input length-width-height and weight. If you don't input all the info, you will end up owing more when you get to the post office.
