Shipping costs- WTF

You walk into a retail shipping outlet and you pay 2-4 times as much, or more, than you pay if you box at home and print out your own labels. I just shipped a heavy piece of machining equipment across the country for $50. It would have been at least $200 to walk into a UPS store.

I get things that I bought arriving with ridiculous shipping charges on the label and I think "if this guy knew how to ship we could have split that extra $100". but you can’t tell the seller how to ship. You can, however, figure it out yourself.

I have used PirateShip since the day they launched. Many, many transactions later, never an issue and fantastic pricing!

SUPER HIGHLY Recommended!!!

I sold 2 sets of Tara labs rca cables. Total weight of under 5lbs. They went from Chicago to Seattle. It cost me 94$. I almost lost it since I told the guy I’d include the shipping for his offer. He got the deal of a lifetime. I’ll never include shipping again. 
This gouging has to stop. 

Pirateship is da bomb. Highly recommended. I saved several hundred dollars in shipping last year using them.

Shipping rates go up around the 3rd week of January every year for USPS/FEDEX/UPS.  Thats how its always been. You can always set up a business account with FEDEX/UPS to get much better rates. Always use the smallest box you can because that dictates (More than Weight) the shipping rate.
