Razors Edge ★ Posted May 7, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 7, 2021 So what's the best way to ship stuff cheap across the US where time is not an issue? We have several items - not real heavy say 10 to 50 lbs max - of various sizes (but think medium sized moving boxes like one that is 21"x16"x13") and when you go online to UPS or USPS, it's like $75+?!?!?! Seriously, I get a LOT of heavy crap via Amazon, so somehow that seems unduly high in comparison? What do you think/suggest/use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted May 7, 2021 Share #2 Posted May 7, 2021 Amazon gets a volume discount with USPS. You’ll need a contract and a lot of stuff to ship. Are you sending weed back to VA? This better not be another get rich quick scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinneR ★ Posted May 7, 2021 Share #4 Posted May 7, 2021 USPS is the cheapest. Document what is in the boxes and buy the insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have shipped UPS Ground and it’s considerably less than air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I get a LOT of heavy crap via Amazon, so somehow that seems unduly high in comparison? What do you think/suggest/use? I have a NASCAR tire that I shipped from Florida to CT for $60. The boxing/shipping company was brilliant as they also packed a bunch of antique glassware I had collected for womaxx inside the tire with peanuts. Safe trip even if a bit pricey. Back in the day however I could have put the tire in a garbage bag and brought it home one weekend as checked baggage. If you think $75 is expensive you should try shipping things too and from Malaysia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
