Re: [FWDLK] Shipping Ideas

Hi Ron;
You need a sturdy box. Add cardboard inside to cushion it and protect 
it from poking any studs thru the box. Take detailed pictures of it 
with ID #'s showing, and write a detailed description. Pack it at least 
temporarily, and weigh it. You can ship up to 75# with USPS and UPS.
When you list it, use the shipping calculator. You only have to fill in 
the weight, size if it's oversized, select which service you will use 
(UPS or USPS) and the calculator will appear on the Item Description 
page and whoever is looking at it can put in their zip code, click on 
it and it will tell the shipping cost to them. Mention this in the 
description or you will get questions about "How much to ship to me?". 
Somehow many never seem to notice the Calculator.
As far as overseas,  list it for USA only and mention that a bidder can 
ask if you can ship it overseas. That rarely happens.

It's really very easy, Ray
