Re: Shipping fees eBay quotes fee vs FedEx's actual fee

Did all 5 ship to the same buyer?

What was the weight? 35lb can not ship for $29.

What were the dimensions?

Additional handling -  The rate chart shows $19 for irregular packaging to zone 3-4. What was the nature of the package?

Misc Delivery area surcharge? Remote?

Re: Shipping fees eBay quotes fee vs FedEx's actual fee

They all weighed 35lbs(although FedEx said 36lbs on 4 and one was 35lbs) . All were 27x8x8 from Atlanta to Miami. With the eBay discount the shipping quote was $24.85(with signature). They were not to a rural area they were to Miami. All 5 were identical.
