Do you have permission to display that logo on your website?
Wouldn’t it be “horizontally challenged”
Very informative Buddah! Thanks!!!
Stellar video. Seems like most posts on chilehead blogs (especially mine) are reviews and hot sauce news, so it’s a breath of fresh air to see an “outside the box” posting like this and still have it be extremely informative.
This should be required viewing for hot sauce fans mailing out bottles or for newer sauce companies.
Thanks Scott, that means a lot. I tried to bring a little something something to our spicy maker friends who often do not know what it takes to get their products to the public. I have been wanting to do this for a while, and I felt with the holiday season upon us, there was no better time.
@Wayne, thank you too my salsa brother. I hope it helps in your future salsa sales.
I hope they see that I am using it to help, but no I do not have their permission. I will send them a link and see what they have to say about it. I can always remove the pic if need be.
Also, the flat rate boxes can be used for international shipping at the same price if the box is going to someone overseas using an APO address. I just shipped some salsa to Italy, to a civil service civilian for the price of a large flat rate box. The customs forms online are seriously confusing, but my local shipping store helped me out. Good info Buddah.
Thanks for adding that Xero. You have gone a long way since we first started talking years ago. :_thumbsup:
Well Done Buddah! Thanks so much for all those valuable shipping tips!

Maybe you should be doing a shipping blog.

Hey Buddha, My Great Grandfather, Grandfather and Father all worked for the PO. I jumped ship and have worked for UPS for 31 years. You have displayed and pointed out great shipping opportunities. I use the Post Office all the time. You know they are such a good deal because those boxes are money losers and are subsided by our tax dollars. You would be silly not to take advantage of it.
I think you are the “Crazy Bomb Killer Hot Sauce Critic” in my book. That is all I am saying!

Good video Buddah. We use priority mail shipping for all our web orders and we get all the boxes for free as you mention. One thing caught my eye was the free priority mail packing tape so I called about that and was told they do not provide that anymore since it was being misused (she told me people were using it on non-priority mail shipping).
