Shipping! WTF?

[how57]

I'm so done with selling parts. Sipping is atrocious! I try to be conducive as far as pricing. As you can see none of us are made of money. Example. I'm selling used 84dl bars for $16.00 plus the ride. The ride is $20.00 or more. WTF! We are getting screwed by USPS, FEDX and UPS.

If anyone Knows a better way, please let me know. I really enjoy helping saw nuts, such as myself find what they're looking for.

Deepest appollagies for the ranting.

Shipping prices have gotten way out of hand, But they don't give a damn.
I recently sold 8 pistons for Ford 428 motor, I priced the shipping at 25 bucks.
They sold for 19 bucks, Shipping cost me 50. I made a lot of money.

Wow. WTF Lee.

Shipping is getting brutal...living all the way over here on the west coast, and shipping stuffs to the east side is outrageous...and I think that's where the majority of you fuggers live. Lol.

Howard, do you remember when we traded bars? Mine that you shipped, traveled all around the West coast for days. That's where your money is going. Tourism!
Nothing about it was Howard's, fault but it was funny watching how it bounced around. Lol.

West coast is the killer. Bought a Mac a while back. The shipping was more than the saw.

Your guys pay 20$ to send a bar inside US, its the same we pay to ship a whole saw inside Norway, and our post office is goverment own as USPS is goverment owned in US

Your guys get ripped off

I would look into XPS Shipping.
I setup an account with them awhile back and now pay a half to a third of what I was paying.
They have an easy, straight forward website that makes shipping a lot easier as well.

If you want to compare shipping quotes PM me and we'll compare to give you an idea of the savings.

This is a buyer beware thing. They'll add charges without your consent and you don't notice until you break down your total. If you ask about rates they tend to only tell you the high end as if anything lesser in cost doesn't exist. I had to ask three times before the college aged child I last encountered was willing to show me the full list of pricing.
They charge around 12 bucks extra for signature requirement and will not volunteer the information about the additional cost when they ask if you want it.
Double check box dimensions. Literally a half of an inch can mean the difference of an extra 40 bucks.

box size means more then weight

I do buy stuff now and then from the states, your guys has decent prices on many things, but the shipping cost is insane, hence why I normally skip US

 

[Cracker Boy]

Anyone know approximately what a 390 shipped from Australia to the us would cost.
