Shipping whole desktop servers

They charge a set rate according to box size. Last time I had some medical equipment and they charged $25 a box to pack it. But the beauty is is if the box breaks open, crap gets damaged, Fedex will automatically pay 100% of whatever you claimed on the packing slip it was worth. Thats the best idea. Boxes they pack run like 10 and up to pack.

The other downfall is if you dont have a Fedex account number to give the counter people, you pay full retail rate for shipping!

The medical equipment I had cost me 285.00 to ship and pack from PA to FL! My fedex account was screwed up at the time, so I couldnt get my 11% discount. But the beauty of them packing it with bubble wrap according to Fedex standards and I had no headache of worrying abotu damaged items, was beautiful.

I dont have my "bible" in front of me. But the shipment I had 6-7 boxes weighing total 120 lbs for whole shipment give or take costing $285 to pack and ship including signature confirmation. The equipment I sold for 5 grand, so didn't need no chances of damage, lost, etc,.

So if I was you, just take the server to the counter and get rid of ya headache and stress! I'm sure you can probably ship them for 50 each including packing and shipping at the counter and they cover any lost, damages, etc. Happy customer..PRICELESS!!!

not a bad option. i doubt that usps will want to deal with them lol

i know where the store is since they make my business cards

Perhaps it is just those employees. I know here, they are friendly, and will provide it if I forgot to do it.
