What’s the best shipping option? How should I package the documents?

I’m soooo close to being able to ship my documents. I’m waiting for 1 more that will hopefully arrive any day now. 🤞🤞🤞🤞 I’m probably overthinking this but after all that work I want everything to arrive without issue.

I’ve put together all the documents in a 14in x 11.5in document mailer that is a little less than 1 lb. Is that the best way to package everything?

I was pricing out options and FedEx is about $250 and arrives a week later. UPS is $150, DHL is $210 and Pirate ship (UPS label) is $85-$100 and they all arrive in about 3 days. Is it really worth paying more or will Pirate Ship work?

Any other tips for shipping? Things you wished you knew?

Thanks!

Edit to clarify Pirate Ship uses UPS.
