@astrism@goeric This is a limited time promotion exclusive to our earliest users in LA. We are exploring what happens when you remove even more friction from the shipping experience.
@mbesto informal rules put in place by Product Hunt team (no landing pages, no pre-launch, no meetups / events). Basically they screen submissions and decide what goes.
I’d never heard of Shyp before a couple weeks ago but after a couple friends recommended it, I signed up for the LA launch and have used this VIP a few times since then. All I can say is wow. Killer, killer service.
After you request a pick up, they swoop in, grab whatever you’re sending, package it 10x better than I ever would, and ship it w/ insurance, fast. Totally worth it at normal rates ($5+shipping, I think) if you have other shit you’d rather be doing than going to the post office, and a no brainer at the VIP rates.
Now if I can just get them to take all my @pistollake packages, I can shut down my whole warehouse operation.
