I just want to know if there is a way to determine how much (approximately) it would cost to ship an item without having to take it to the post office to determine this. I know the shipping cost is generally based on the weight of the item, but I would just like to know if there is a general price per lb that most post offices charge to ship an item? And if so what is this general price? Or does the price vary significantly among post offices? If this is the case I could probably check the post office and determine how much they charge per lb. I would just like to have a general idea.

It is based on weight, distance, delivery times, insurance and tracking features, you can figure out the postage here:

If you go to an official US Post Office in your area, all postal service shipping rates are the same for weight of package or letters. It is those shops you find in strip centers near grocery stores that tack on extra fees to postage rates. At the link below, you will find postage rates divided by the method of shipping you wish to use, whether First Class, Priority Mail, Express Mail, Parcel Post, or Bound Printed Matter. You can even order free shipping supplies from the postal service website. I hope this information helps you. :)

you're dropping your shirt on delivery because of the fact which you haven't any longer any clue what you're doing. you do no longer understand the variations between the main agencies and you do no longer understand a thank you to construct your delivery fee into your merchandise cost. this implies you will possibly desire to do examine.

go to www.usps.com for an estimate, but it depends on two factors: weight and distance.
The USPS is regulated, so there is no "bargain" at any one office
