Re: Anyone help me in 'shipping'??

Look into DHL shipping if available in your area. They are lerss expensive than any of the others and FAST. That may not last long as they are ther "new guys on the block"

I believe that the best rates available are via Fedex Ground parcel service. Probably should be send in 2 parcels, allright as there is maximum weight and size which is similar to USPS service (there may be some differences).

You should verify correct estimate of charges using the service companie's web pages naming the rates. Nearly every case that I've check in last several years Fedex Ground parcel service is best as well as the least cost service. Usually UPS is next and USPS (Post Office) is highest. But it depends upon what you need or want for service.

Just go to the www.fedex.com web page and figure it out. You should need the zip codes and the weights and measurements and the value.

I yet have some shippoing information posted at:> http://mysite.verizon.net/res79g4m/fcs/fcsystem.html

Subject: Anyone help me in 'shipping'??

I bought some stuff on EBay--100lbs or so...

I'd asked the seller to put it into two boxes (50 lbs each) and take it to the post office...

"It aint worth no $15 to me to do anything" said he.

So he wants to ship this stuff at 100lbs (who does that??) with FedEx (75 lbs max?) for $54 plus $15 'handling'.

So...when I add up $54 and 15 I get $69...which exceeds the post offices' $19.13 each (plus his $15)...

Because of his attitude, I want to have someone collect this stuff for me and ship it my way..

As payment, perhaps I could let someone have something in the lot....it's here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4586020919&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

OR...use this EBay item number: 4586020919

Candidly, I don't even know what some of this stuff is!!

So if there is anyone around Chesepeak, Virginia wishing to help an AMC/Vermonter (and earn a part or two..or just help out because you are a kind, helpful soul), DO advise me privately by EMail at

jerijan@xxxxxxxxxxxx AND jerijan@xxxxxxxxxxx (use both to facilitate my getting this message)...

I don't like the guy's attitude ($15 aint no big thing, and $54 aint no problem (WHOSE $69 you talking about here, buddy? If it is MINE, it sure as hell is a big problem!!)

So tell me your terms and we'll go from there..

Have a look at the parts...some of the stuff may not be worth shipping (cost vs value, etc, etc)..but some of the other stuff may...

I wanted only some of the items, so I can 'negotiate' the rest...

Tell me what you want from all this...and we'll talk.

Thanks in advance...

And..

If I can do something for anyone up this way (Vermont, upstate New York, Western Massachusetts), let me know. I can also do some NJ stuff given the correct calander month!

Thanks again...
