$20 for those items sounds about right for UPS. I ship a lot of small-to-medium things and almost exclusively use USPS because the prices are often cheaper. It isn't until you get into heavier items that using UPS or FedEx make sense.Quick question. I'm not in the USA, but I live in the border with Texas. I usually go on weekends to do some shopping and stuff, so I can ship to both Mexico and the USA.
But I don't have a lot of experience sending packages in the USA. I sent two keyboards and a Google Home Mini, and they charged me $20 USD for the shipping at a mailing center (I used UPS). Is that a regular price to pay?
I mean, I just want to know better for next time. Is there a way to get prepaid labels online or something cheaper?

You can buy prepaid labels online for all of the above, and with USPS you can even do it through PayPal, often 10-20% cheaper than if you went straight though the postal services' website.
Also worth noting are flat-rate boxes, which can help cut costs dramatically if you're shipping something heavy and small enough to fit in the pre-determined dimensions. I know USPS and FedEx have them, not sure about UPS but I'd be surprised if they didn't.

Precisely, except the boxes are free to grab and take home. But yes, if it fits, it ships for a flat rate. They're only worth using if you're sending a heavy package, otherwise it's possible to spend $1 or $2 more using them than your own package.Flate-rate boxes? Interesting.

Looking to get rid of an NVidia GeForce GTX 780 GPU (used, cleaned, newly applied thermal compound) with a retail asking price of $399 in exchange for an Intel Core i7-9700K Coffee Lake 8-Core 4.9 GHz LGA 1151 95W BX80684I79700K CPU, with a retail asking price of $349, or equivalent.
Exchange negotiable.
Could see discounted rates for USPS through this site. https://www.pirateship.com/Sold.
I want to recommend RobotHaus as a buyer. We started the negotiation two days ago (Thursday), and he paid me the very same day, even though I told him I would ship until today Saturday. Great communication too.

The only other piece I would add: if you don't use a flat-rate box, remember that not only the weight, but the size, affects the price. I remember when I went to ship my PS4 and my box was a decent bit bigger than the PS4 box, and the post office worker was kind enough to let me know that if I cut my box size down by a few inches, it would save me on shipping. It was something insane too, like $20 saved. She got out a blade and helped me cut my box down to size right there, and then we re-sealed it. Surely there has to be a guide out there for dimensions and price class.Quick question. I'm not in the USA, but I live in the border with Texas.

Just wanted to say the same happened to me, $1 month or so for Gamepass on PC is pretty good. Had no problem redeeming them and each one ended up being 1 month + 1 month for auto-renewing (after submitting them all, that wont be until Oct 2021).I bought 12 of these codes from ahbs to add time to my PC Gamepass subscription and actually got 2 months per code (there was a check box about getting a free month by turning on auto renew I think and it stacked for each code). So it's actually even cheaper
I have 4 $25 PSN gift cards, looking to sell these at 12% off, so $22 a piece. Just recouping my cost as I didn't end up using them.
Sureinterested in 2 of these. will pm you later tonight if I don't knock out lol.
