Shipping prices??

I shipped a few items yesterday and the price was outrageous!!! 69.xx for three boxes one of which contained a stock boost controller and it was 10 dollars. has anyone else noticed an increase in shipping costs? they said it was due to the rise in gas prices

UPS

i will tell you what brown could do for me today, and that is lower the damn prices back to somewhat normal

I usually just ship USPS ground. They are usually the cheapest for small things.

That seems a little high, was that for regular ground service? Was one of the boxes big or heavy?

UPS blows. prices suck and delivery times are terrible. i'll have something shipped from ohio to me (PA) and as i watch the tracking it'll get to the delivery hub 20 minutes away from me in 2 days, yet its "scheduled delivery" is 5 days later?!

Next time print the postage at home and drop it off in the postoffice drop box.Usually they won't check to see if you have to pay more for shipping based on the weight you intput.Also you can use the flat rate usps priority mail boxes.The smaller box is $8.95 and the larger one is $13.95 for up to 70lbs in either box.The boxes aren't huge but it can save you money.
