How did it go with shipping this time?

 

I have not shipped it yet but I am going to get the best price this time. I was lazy on the first one and just took it to ups. There is a ups around the corner from my office and I often have lunch right next to it. 

 

Hoping the ebay price is good, I would like to start printing labels there.

It would be a good idea to hold some or you'll regret. Just look at the history of some big sets and you'll get a good idea what the SSD can pull in.

I didn't want to sell any. I am in this for the long term hold. I just bought more than I could afford and don't want to carry a balance. 

 

I didn't own any until a few weeks ago. I got all these when they came back briefly on amazon and wm. Kind of bought in a panic but it's all working out.

On my Fedex account, shipping from zip 10453 (Bronx) to 90120 (Beverly Hills), with direct signature, declared value $600, 17 LB total shipped weight, 27x24x12 overall dimensions, I am seeing $44.27 rate for Fedex Ground (without discount - $53.99 )

How about smart post?

But!!

If I manage to somehow pack it into  23 in x 20 in x 8 in box (which means,basically, that I wrap it into some bubble wrap and cardboard), leaving everything else the same, ends up being $23.38 ($26.55 non-discounted)

I shipped it via FedEx ground from AZ to Virginia for $25. $599 insurance with direct sign. You can fudge the dimensions a little, I didn't even know I did but based on your statement I must have :-0

First $10 jump up happens after going from 24 in x 21 in x 10 in to 25 in x 21 in x 10 in

Don't you have to have commercial agreement with fedex to have access to SmartPost?  Ebay shipping calculator does not seem to offer SmartPost as an option (though I know it is an option when you are actually buying the shipping on ebay), and does not allow to specify insurance and direct sign

I was trying to figure out the 24$ deal. That was before you posted the dimension thing.

The reason why I went with 27x24x12 initially - it is the size of the SSD product box with 2 inches added on every side, rounding up to whole inches. Someone mentioned that UPS requires 2 inches on every side for insurance to be applicable. I don't know what the exact policies are for UPS/Fedex/USPS in regards to packaging vs insurance applicability.

FedEx ground thru ebay is 29.98 for a 29x20x14 box at 20lbs. I ballparked the weight as I have not packed it yet. That also includes a 28% discount for using ebay.

 

USPS priority is 44.50 with a 32% ebay discount. I'm not going to bother with UPS. 

 

Neither of these prices include insurance. I don't see how too add it for fedex, I know it will add about $10 to usps.

 

The box is recycled from a target order, had two modulars in it. It's a little too long but should be fine.

There should a field somewhere to enter "declared value". that's the insurance

 

I think if you find smaller box (under 3 cubic feet), your rate probably will be cheaper...
