Re: Shipping: how much???
Hey everyone,
There are several (many?) internet-based companies that act as middlemen between the retail customer (you and me) and the shipping companies (UPS, Fedex, etc.). Because they middlemen companies buy a lot of shipping they get big discounts and pass a portion of that on to the retail customer.
I've used one called Netparcel a couple of times and they've been fine - again there are a few of these outfits so you can read some reviews and see which if any suit you. I was originally concerned about things like delivery confirmations, insurance, etc. but since the actual service is provided by UPS (or Fedex or whoever) the only thing the Netparcel people do is take your money and print your shipping label. Any other dealings you might have with stuff with delivery, insurance, etc. is with the carrier directly.
I have NFI (except in the sense they managed to save me some $ on a few occasions) so it might be something to look into. You might even be able to scrounge around and find a referral code or something for a further discount. I don't remember if I did that.
Enjoy!
