shipping advice

gsdguenter · Sep 5, 2009

Can someone please help me out? I am selling my MA on Ebay since I had no takers of CL for 6 weeks and they had a thing you can list 5 things and not pay list fees.
Anyway, I'm trying to figure out this shipping thing. I have a Britax box I'm going to use and will be shipping from 03825 to 84043. Can anyone help me figure out how much this would cost? TIA

And if I'm not allowed to ask this, sorry. Just delete it. Thanks

anyone know how I can find out this info besides bringing it to the post office?

most shippers have an online calculator-

USPS
FedEx
UPS

A MA weighs about 20 lbs boxed, and will probably count as bulky. I would expect it to cost around $30.

I'd put it the box and weight it. If you have a home scale it's likely heavy enough to register on that, or you can weight yourself then weight yourself carrying the box and subtract.

Then head over to any of the shipper's web sites (as crunchy suggested) and use their "checking shipping rate" or "calculate postage" option.

how do I figure out the dimensions of the box? It's so wierd shaped. Forgive me, I have no common sense

I'd go to Amazon.com or walmart.com or target.com and see what the shipping dimensions are that they use. That'll also give you the shipping weight. Then just go to one of the sites and plug in your info to see calculated costs.

they go by the largest part. measure length and width on the bottom where it's bigger.

Ah, thanks that makes sense. If only I could come up with these ideas on my own
