@dal1795 There is no cheap way to ship something that large. Shipping prices are based on package dimensions, weight, and distance the buyer.

If I had to ship something that large I would ship UPS and buy the shipping label on Pirateship.com. Keep in mind that you do have to pay for extra insurance for loss or damage in shipment. If it is not packaged well enough then the insurance will not pay.

While Fed Ex may appear like it costs less they WILL bill you more later. Pirateship.com helps with filing insurance claims and surcharge disputes.

It is best to always research shipping prices and methods prior to submitting the listing for sale.

You can't ask the buyer for more shipping than stated on the listing.

Check out Fed Ex and UPS. Both carriers should be cheaper than using the USPS for large heavy packages.
