$21.57 to ship [2] valve covers that came out to weigh 15.90lbs via FedEx Ground!? I've shipped turbos for less than that!

What are the cheap shipping alternatives... I shipped FedEx cause USPS is usually too much, but for $21.57 I might as well have shipped USPS.

I miss DHL...

 

honing alpacas are uber cheap

 

all shipping companies went up 15 percent this year. People crying about shipping costs havent shipped lately

 

usps rates are up has well

 

USPS might cost a bit more but i seem to get packages way faster from them. UPS/Fedex take at least a week on everything

 

Greyhound bus, but you have to pick the parts up at your local facility. They are the best price for shipping wierd shaped or bulky ---- like bumper covers.

 

Depends on location but from coast to coast fedex usually takes 6 business days+the weekend. Flat rate boxes are the saving grace of online sales

 

This is why you get a fedex account and drop off during busy hours. 90 percent of the time they wont throw it on the scale since their so busy. Has long has you keep it within reason say thrown 12 pounds on that package it will go through at that weight and you save a couple bucks. Fedex knows this they dont care online accounts make them so much damn money.

 

very true, i should know

 

yeah... i know... i used to ship stuff out almost daily like a year ago... got sick of driving to the PO like everyday so I practically stopped selling online... started again cause money sucks.... I greatly prefer USPS, but 2 valve covers wont fit in a flat rate box, and 2 flat rate boxes would cost as much as fedex and fedex has 100 insurance and good tracking.

that is a damn good idea... I might have to try that sometime...
