Hi Guys I need some help I have 200 laptops and about 100 pounds of Mother Boards. I am wondering how much it will cost me to ship this size of a load???
Do you know who you are shipping them to? Have you found a buyer yet?
Nobody can really answer your question because it depends on the total weight including the boxes. I have no idea how much your 200 laptops weigh, because there are too many variables. And saying you have about 100 pounds of motherboards is too vague to go by. You need to weigh them up on a decent scale (and not one of those cheap Weighmax scales) and then contact your buyer to see if they offer shipping services, which will be deducted from the payout.
This is the scale I use: CAS PB-Series Portable Platform and Bench Legal for Trade Scales
It's not cheap, but since I purchase a lot of stuff by weight I want to make sure the seller is getting a fair shake, plus I have more confidence in how much weight I have before heading off to the yard or selling to my escrap buyer.
Look at my post in the buyers section and give me a call I can get you in the ballpark
The Laptops weigh 5 pounds each. So 1000 pounds. Laptops have everything except the hard drives.
I have not found a buyer yet No
I am interested in scrapping e-waste but balk at the cost to send off parts and pieces hoping someone will buy them. You are talking shipment via 18 wheeler. $$$$$$$$$$$
Did you contact Gorven??Quote:

The price I recently got from Gorven for a dedicated truck (FTL shipping) was about $1.50 per mile for a roughly 650 mile trip. This is if both shipper and receiver have a commercial address and a forklift or loading dock.Quote:

Your shipping information is completely wrong, again. We all know you don't understand how to ship from YOUR location. But those prices are not accurate for the majority of the continental US.Quote:

From another thread, it looks like he finally found Mario and realized the buyers thread is not dead. Maybe in another 6 months, he MIGHT figure out shipping.Quote:

Is trucking legal.....Pardon me while I go bang my head against a wall. Here's my answer...if your not shipping drugs, it sure is! Even if it's a Hazmat load..expect your rates to go up for that one tho..;)
Gorven offers awesome rates, Mario/Ewasted also, as do several other buyers.
An once more...I can get shipping cheaper then RLS there..an I live 2 miles out in the freaking ocean.
Rent the whole truck, or part of the truck, this is how these kind things work. If your not taking up the whole thing, there will be others people stuff on there to. Nobody is dedicating a whole semi trailer to 3 pallets. ;) Which makes it a helluva lot cheaper then the usual shipping methods.
One again, and as always...YMMV.

Now it's time for me to head to the clubhouse for a cold one. Hopefully Sir didn't empty the cooler.

At least I have been enlightened on the spelling of Machiavelli. I have tried to google him a couple of times but just couldn't get it close enough to find it. So thanks for that, 73 Mike
I'm a fan of ol'Nicco.
Read The Prince several times. ;)
An yes the last name is tough to spell. If you mess it up you end up with Tupac when he used it on album right before his death. I'm full of random info, but you know this Mike as I know you follow the music thread, you know my tastes go from the chill to the extreme. Ha ha!
Very interesting individual the real one was. Hell then again..so was Tupac if you get past the other stuff. If you check out other quotes of his you'll see some of the stuff he wrote in action all around you, from Politics to Crime. Very interesting..at lest to me. Same with Sun Tzu and his Art of War. Both very short books..hell I got kids books thicker heh. Yet all governments, armies, etc are influenced greatly by both.
Sorry for the detour folks! See..I'm not just a pretty face, I can read, an not just coloring books! I got brains baby! Wooo!
See..I just proved..people learn something new everyday! :p

How the fu ck can you think of going with a company without knowing the pay out rates! Unless they are located close to you I can not think of any other reason. Price is what it is all about, so find out prices! Hell post them here so we can all know. If this CJ place pays well or better that would be good info for all of us...Quote:

Just an observation capital. But your shipping cost per pound was .74. You lost a little money on the ribbon wire. Could be partly from shipping 84 lbs via FedEx. I believe cost goes up when you ship over 70 lbs. but maybe you didn't ship fedex
This is critical information that has been discussed before in other threads. Shipping can kick your A$$. Also I was thinking the break off was about 65lbs. I hope some one who has the recent experience can chime in.Quote:

If shipping freight or parcel, our rates are about as aggressive as they get.
Not doubting you. I ship freight from about .22 to .26 per lb. I know you do a good jobQuote:

Since I dont have My pallet dimensions quite yet i have not been able to get a freight Quote from CashForComputerScrap.com yet.
Just an FYI about FedEx shipping. Yes 70 lbs is the break point. Moving up in weight approaching 70 lbs greatly reduces your cost per lb. A box in the 60+ lb range can be over 10 cents cheaper per pound than a 30 something pound box. However, do NOT go over 70 lbs. They classify anything over 70, yes even 70.5 lbs as HEAVY and stamp it so and charge you an immediate $10 extra for a heavy box thereby killing any savings.
With that much weight, you need to talk to the shipping guy in the buyers section
Ok. So I have a scheduled pickup date for Friday With CFCS (Cashforcomputerscrap.com) AKA Ewasted. I have approxmatly 1250 lbs. 2 Pallets loaded up. 210 Laptops, over 50 Small Socket Mother boards, about 10 Large socket Motherboards, Cell phones w/o battery's, At least 25-30 lbs. of peripheral board, cd/Dvd rom boards, over 50 lbs of lithium Ion battery's (laptop), ribbon wire, power supply units with cord approx. 40 - 50 lbs. , hard drive boards 1lb. Gold connectors, trimmed finger cards, trimmed ram memory, and a few other goodies including probley 5lbs. of CPU's. Ill be sure to post my payout as soon as it is received for everyone to see and of course Give my Feedback of everything.
Thanks guys you all have helped me greatly in this.
