How It Works:
Easy-Peasy
POSTAGE + FLAT-RATE $5
If you are trying to order a product online, and if at the end of the shopping cart process you find that either the seller does not ship to Alaska, or you find that the estimated shipping costs seem excessive (most likely the result of Second-Day Air shipping rates), check to see if shipping your package through My Package 2 Alaska can save you money.
Typically, going through My Package 2 Alaska and the Post Office can save you money, although it may take a few days longer than a package arriving by Second-Day Air freight directly from the seller.
To calculate the costs of forwarding your purchase through My Package 2 Alaska and the Post Office, use the following steps:
STEP #1 - On our "Cost" page, use the USPS Postage Price Calculator link to estimate the postage from our facility in Holladay, Utah, using zip code 84117, to the zip code for your home town Post Office in Alaska.
You will need to complete the info in boxes 1 thru 4 (just enter an estimated date in box 3), and in box 5 select:
"Package" if all of your dimensions are UNDER 12 inches
-OR-
"Large Package" if any of the dimensions are OVER 12 inches.
NOTE: On the seller’s product page, you can often find the dimensions (Height x Weight x Length), and shipping weight of your package being sent from the seller in order to estimate the USPS package rate.
STEP #2 – Add our “Flat-Rate $5” handling charge.
***No matter what size or weight your package is,
we will process it, and deliver it to USPS,
for a flat-rate fee of $5.00 dollars per package.***
STEP #3 – Now, Decision Time....Is the total cheaper, and/or is it more convenient, to use our service as compared to your options with the seller?
If you decide My Package 2 Alaska can save you money, or make delivery of your package more convenient, then when you "check-out" on the sellers shopping cart, be sure to use our Utah address in the "Ship To" section of your order.
Example:
**Your Name**
c/o My Package 2 Alaska
4710 Stratton Drive
Lower Level - Unit B
Holladay, Utah
84117
STEP #4 – When we receive your package at our address, we will inspect it for visible damage, and notify you by text (or phone if you prefer), that it has arrived. We will also send you an email with a convenient Paypal Invoice for the cost of the postage for sending the package to your home-town Post Office.
STEP #5 – When we receive your payment, we will immediately print and apply a USPS shipping label with the required postage, and deliver your package to the Post Office. We will also text you a message containing the USPS tracking number so that you can follow the progress of your package.
