We all know shipping costs have gotten stupid. Dropped something at PO this morning and no line so had time to talk to counter attendant. His words were something like the way they are pricing things these days, you need to be cautious.
Most know this, but anything heavy or. Long distance needs to go in flat rate box……otherwise you get stung. Even the employees know we are getting screwed. |

When I ship my GT lids (14lbs - 46"X18"X3") I use insured FEdEx ground - a lot cheaper that USPS since tit wont fit in any flat rate box - ;>)

Pirateship is great. I see shipping options that do noy show up elsewhere. Play with the box size.
I was shipping a starter in a box 10 x 10 x 10. Cost about $20. Customer wanted an alternator (11 lbs ) too. I found if i added the alternator and cut down the box by 3" in height the cost dropped to $11 even with the added weight. You pay the most if you go to the post office or a UPS or FedEx store. |
