Hi!!

I want to ship some mini sugar cookies to my family, so it would be California, Texas and Colorado.

Should I go with Ups, FedEx or a normal Post Office?

advices? best results?

thanks

Hi!  As long as you don't include anything super perishable, I'd go with Priority Mail.  I do that with choco chip and mini brownies as well as sugar cookies.  I send Priority Mail to Arizona from NY on a regular basis (my niece and nephew call me Aunt Cookie!) - it's guaranteed 2-3 days but often is sooner.  And when I Priority Mail to anywhere else in NY from NY it almost always arrives next day - for a way more attractive price!!!

Good Luck,

I've shipped cookies using UPS and the USPS. The only thing that I did not like with UPS was that it was almost double the price of shipping with USPS, which cost me about 6-8.00 depending on where its going. I shipped a couple of test boxes with USPS and found that the one that I had marked FRAGILE on, most of the cookies in that box were broken, even though they bubble wrapped, in a smaller box with packing peanuts. The one that I didn't mark anything on, arrived in perfect condition. Nothing was broken when I used UPS. It would just really be a matter of how much you want to spend to ship. It cost me 17.00 to ship to my brother in Az using UPS, but only 8 using USPS.

usps all the way -- this is funny -- sort of -- so i got this box of goodies all ready for my son back when he was away at school -- over night shipping costs like forty bucks -- was ups or fedex -- and it never left memphis for a few days --  it rarely snows in memphis -- like once every 6-8 years -- but it snowed the day i shipped that box of cookies --   what am i laughing for ? 

but i ship cookies usps all the time -- it's really really fast -- i don't want to ship on thursday fri sat or sun -- i hit it monday tues or wed so the box won't be held up over the weekend somewhere  --

i think tracking cookie packages is a big hoot -- i love it -- almost more fun than making the cookies --

for packaging -- i put two cookies together bottom to bottom and wrap them in plastic wrap -- you want to to be sure the package can be jiggled dropped and sat on without the cookies moving or getting crushed inside --

i just shipped my bro some beagle puppy cookies for his birthday -- arrived in perfect time

best shipping to you

oh and don't forget about the one price -- if it fits it ships boxes with usps

You are ALSO shipping to your brother in AZ!?!  What are you my sister LOL!  I know you are not because my sisters do not ship cookies to anyone!

I have not had a breakage problem with the post office - I like to use those Ziplock plastic containers and pack it tight in a USPS box for less moving around.

thank you everybody! I'll try to ship with priority mail and see what happens!
