Shipping help

[jesste13]

Package is 17”x 21”x22” and weighs about 9 pounds

I need help finding a cheap way to ship this.  When I go to fedex or ups they were saying over $100.  Please help. 

it’s just Christmas decorations.

Yikes! That's not going to be cheap because it's oversized (1728 cubic inches). And the weight makes the price even higher. 

Even parcel post is over $100 if going from coast to coast! 

How far are you shipping?

It should be $58.91 UPS Ground if it's going to zone 8 if you're using online postage.

IF I (in Ohio) had been your buyer, the shipping fee to me (expedited) in the listing is quoted as $30.

The time to shop around for cheaper shipping should probably be before listing.

It's the size of the box. That's a huge box. It doesn't weigh much, less than 10 lbs, but the dimensional weight (size of the box) is going to have the carrier consider it to be just over 47 lbs. 

Once a package goes over 1 cubic foot (12x12x12) surcharges may be applied. 

Determining DIM weight.

Can you break your shipment up into multiple smaller parcels?

Cheap and shipping go together like butter scotch syrup and steak.  Try UPS they used to be a bit less with over size packages.  Can you repack it smaller ?
