One other thing Fedex and other shippers jump the rate when a package exceeds a certain amount. As I recall it is/was 60 or 65lbs with fedex before a big jump in the rated. Do some more reading on the forum or perhaps someone else will show up. I did pay the price on a couple of my early shipments, I was putting 75-100 lbs in a box. Mike

I'm a manager in a shipping department and 75# is the cut off weight for a single box for UPS. I believe its the same, if not close, for FedEx. Anything over that is considered an overweight package an gets a surcharge. I just sent out a 57# box to CFCS witch contained around 30 motherboards and some RAM. Only cost $18 from NY, but that's with my business rate. We ship 50-80 packages daily. Pack as tightly as possibly but make sure the box wont break in transit.
Remember, its scrap. Its not going to break cuz its already broke.
