For the smaller stuff I use a digital scale and for the bigger items I just use a regular scale, may not be accurate but at least an estimate.

with a scale...dont ship big thing with usps....i shipped my XXX and omg, fedex and dhl are the cheapest btw

the one time I looked into dhl, I looked at insurance rates and they were crazy... maybe I was just too tired, i dunno. A xxx is not big, ups would not be much more than fedex... if any.

and to figure that into the package size

52.14 is how much on fed ex...i used a scale haha

seems a little high to me, but if that's the price... then that's the price.

I have shipped several bikes across the country, and altough fairly light (30-40lb in pkg ready to ship) they are still big and awkward. I would guess $50 or so for UPS- that's what my bikes cost to send.
