also if you ship with a fedex account number you can save a few bones, when it does the web quote without you login in its a bit higher

usps is slower than shit and has horrible tracking.
That is a light box but pretty big size wise. Might want to check dhl, they are usually better on bigger items.

see i think the opposite. usps has always been pretty quick for me. hell i got some wire shipped from GA (im in ohio) on monday evening and it arrived at my door wed morning. it was sent priority mail. sure the tracking sucks but i think it moves pretty quick.

That's just capitalism and free enterprise. They're entitled.

If the consumers have a problem with it, they need to change their usage patterns and spending habits.

Besides, the increase in gas price is largely driven by the increase in crude oil (a cost that Exxon is simply passing on to consumers to maintain revenue).

aha, priority is much better than parcel post or whatever the slow *** standard service is

box was 18x16x12, it was double boxed and pretty heavy for what it was. i also shipped a memphis belle from TX-S. Florida for $26.37 with insurance for $600

that wasn't in an 18x18x18 box. You hit a certain size and there are surcharges.

Shipping to Alaska is retarded expensive...

USPS is the ONLY way to go for me.

You're in Texas though...shipping from NY to Cali is probably close to the longest distance within the 48..

Also, I read something, they calculate it on 'dimensional weight' since my package is so light, yet in a larger box. 'Dimensional weight' for my package is 30lbs. It's calculated based on the size of the box. It's absurd.

Gotta love those fuel surcharges now!

We shipped a 75lbs pool liner to Greenville, NC last week and the freight charge was $125, the cost of the liner itself is $199.

Shit's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

So I went looking for answers on this today. Between 2002 and 2006, Exxon spent over 80 billion dollars to find and develop new energy sources. In 2008, they intend to invest another 20 billion dollars for the same.

Another fine example of the wonderful political system at work.
