Save Money on Shipping

If it’s available in your area, please check out FedEx Ground rates for your large and heavy boxes. Their prices are very competitive and often less expensive than parcel post. You can also do a price comparison on the shipping costs at FedEx, US Postal Service, UPS and local couriers at the ShipGooder site by just typing in the weight of your box and the to and from zip codes!

Also, in case you are not familiar with them, the U.S. Post office has three sizes of Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes available free at their website. The large size is 12 x 12 x 3.5, medium is 11 7/8 x 3 3/8 x 13 5/8, and small is 5 3/8 x 8 5/8 x 1 5/8. You can ship these boxes anywhere in the country, regardless of weigh,t for one price. Click here to see rates.

These boxes come in handy, particularly to ship donations to the reservation that are small but heavy, such as school supplies and toiletries!

Aaron Huey's effort to photograph poverty in America led him to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, where the struggle of the native Lakota people — appalling, and largely ignored — compelled him to refocus. Five years of work later, his haunting photos intertwine with a shocking history lesson.
