In the case of small freight, the UPS ground freight and ocean services are used to make sure overall expenses remain affordable when making heavy shipments.
USPS
USPS has a weight limit of about 70 pounds and in many cases, the postal is the cheapest option when dealing with light bulk parcels. The services are Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, and Ground Advantage.

The shipping time of bulk shipments of Shopify depends on the carrier, the level of services, and distance. The domestic ground delivery is usually delivered within 2-5 business days, and the express or air freight service may take up to 1-3 business days in case of urgent orders.
Bulk shipments at international levels usually require 5-10 business days although it might take more time depending on the customs clearance and the type of freight used.
How Much Does it Cost to Ship Bulk Shopify Orders?
The price of bulk shipping is based on weight, size of the package, distance, and service option. The dimensional weight rules are used in situations where price is determined by size and not by weight alone, therefore proper packing is cost effective.
