Quoting: The_Meridian Is it over 70 lbs or something? The USPS is never the place to go for any large package but international shipping. I was at USPS yesterday and i heard a quote of 1000$ for an item Freight cost on a freight shipping company site would be less than 200$ for very large items on a pallet |

User ID: 80470842 United States06/16/2021 05:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am trying to ship a birdhouse in a box that is around 36 inches X 36 inches X 28 inches. Quoting: Nobody Special 4 Now US Postal said nope, UPS and FEDEX wanted 750 plus to deliver it 1 state away? What the heck, I paid 1150 dollars 1 year ago to ship a greyhound from South America to the USA so what gives with shipping prices now? Anyone have any ideas for how to ship this cheaper? I know there are some smart people here, so its best place i could think of to get an answer! LOL you have to pay for the low cost shipping jeff bezos gets |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 76761050 United States06/16/2021 05:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lets say you post it at 500$ with buy it now, best offer, and free shipping. They can offer you 1$ and you accept Then you will get ebay special reduced priced shipping which is about half price retail at FedEX This item would be about 50$ doing this method Then you print the label and attach it to your box |

User ID: 79516629 United States06/16/2021 05:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Greyhound bus shipping. Drop it off at the terminal closest to your house and the recipient picks it up at the terminal closest to them. I used them years ago, it was the cheapest option for a large item. I don't know what they charge these days, but i'd assume it's alot less. [link to www.shipgreyhound.com] Last Edited by nobodyspecial8 on 06/16/2021 05:52 PM |

The average non corporate person mailing anything is paying triple what it used to cost to subsidize the sweetheart deal given to Amazon and other online retailers. Which by the way are sealed ad a matter of national security, so No One is allowed to see what deal Amazon got. |
