    If your shipping that size box regularly, I would strongly suggest saving up and trying LTL (frieght shipping). Best bet is to talk to Ewasted or Gorven, find a terminal near you. Load up your boxes and build a pallet in the driveway of the terminal. FYI - my last load that was shipped 8 or 9 hours away was between 4 and 5 cents a pound.

    Wow, that does change the game a bit. This box was 69 pounds and they quoted me $28.58 for Fedex so (67 pounds of material) $0.426 per pound shipping. Pallets do cost much less. I have shipped a single pallet twice. It really isn't difficult.
