You were lucky to miss the Christmas rush :) Thanks for the opportunity!
Want to thank Mario and the staff for the SURPRISE turn around! Sent 5 boxes, just shy of 350lbs, up on Monday. Shoot, gotz the cha-ching already!! Really did not expect it, with the holiday and weather up there, this quick. Some of this is going into the BroJer road-trip fund! Need to drive a car out to Luke AFB, in Phoenix, for my daughter and son-in-law, so this helps me plan the budget!
Thanks, Mario, for all the answered questions and superb service, you and the crew provide, for all of us! Bro
Would it be more cost-effective to ship 1 big box or a bunch of smaller boxes?
The most cost effective, is to ship when you have 65-68lbs, per box. Stay under 70. I tend to cut it close, but I have matched my weight to those at Fedx often enough, to know I can get that close.Quote:

You were more than fair for prices, and your simple website makes it real easy to figure out things. On another positive note, your weights all added up to what I sent on the nose. I really do thank you, nowadays it can be a chore to find an honest business. I will definitely send you all of my computer scrap from here on out. Thanks again.
Is there any way you could start posting the prices of Li-ion and Ni-based batteries on the front page? I'm always getting them from my clients, and I feel like I'm wasting your time every time I email you for a quote. Thanks, and I'm working on getting another pallet or 2 ready to send out soon.
Do you buy low grade or med. grade boards?
My review: customer service was excellent, as well as the turnaround, couldn't believe how fast I got my check( in the middle of christmas rush too). You guys run a fine organization and I want to thank you for your hard work. Sorry I'm so late on this.
If you contact support on Mario's website (cant think of her name) can give you any answers regarding pricing/grading that you might have. She is very knowledgeable and very polite. I also wanted to thank Mario and his staff for a quick turnaround with my last shipment. It was right before Thanksgiving. Top notch company and people.
hope the new year is going good for yall.... collecting e scrap ben a little slow so far this year.
prices current I see gold on the rise
Thanks for the excellent service and quick payment another package will be sent next week.
Finally got my first shipment out and to no surprise the experience was as smooth and easy as the 2+ years worth of posts on this thread have said. Setup my login and all info on a Sunday night, got a reply early monday morning, got a shipping quote and was able to print out the labels that same morning, scheduled fedex pickup on Wednesday, packages arrived the next monday morning, processed within a couple hours, check sent out and showed up in my mailbox last friday. That's less than 9 days from the moment fedex picked up the boxes (which was after 7pm) to me having a check in hand.
This was my first escrap shipment and it was a learning experience. I sent 400 pounds and got a check for $670 after shipping, not bad considering most of it was from an auction I won for only $10!(although I did spend alot of time processing it all). 130 pounds of that was wiring though which skewed the average, take that out and it's closer to 270 pounds for about $640. What's even better is I was telling a work associate about it and they took me around back of their warehouse and showed me 2 large piles of electronics (printers, computers, cameras, etc.) and asked me if I knew how to get rid of it, of course I said that I would be more than happy to clean it all out for him, so hopefully it's not too long before I have another shipment ready for ewasted.
Having the breakdown was a great help too in learning about what I had. I just wish I could have been there in person to learn first hand, although I may be planning a trip back home to detroit in the near future and may just have to make a slight detour.
Thanks to ewasted and your crew for an excellent experience!
Just boxed up my first shipment to Ewasted. 50lbs of mixed material. I can not say enough for the online support lady who was very, very kind and helpful. My box will be shipped out via FedEx tomorrow, at a rate of half of what I had seen on the FexEx website. Very excited and happy to work with this team. Will update when this transaction is complete.
anybody know if CFCS is closed today or the website is having problems?
Inclement weather, skeletal crew.Quote:

Ok thanks I am trying to get some labels........Boxes are prepped ready to go just need labels...........Thanks.......
thanks again for the labels and just had two boxes processed pleased with results!
I just received the report for my last shipment. The freight charges ended up being 13.6 cents per pound. I consider that a bargain! While many people think I am crazy to ship power supplies, I received 30% more AFTER freight than I do at my local yard. Satisfied? Absolutely. Will I be sending more material? Yes. The only problem is waiting for the snow to melt and the mud to dry.
did you send 65lb boxes or bulk 1000lb or more to get that 13cents a lb.Quote:

nice load. im trying to learn how to obtain quanity like that
Should I cut the gold connectors off the cords or just ship everything intact?
Just received payment today. I could not be more pleased with the entire transaction. Payment was even a bit more than I had expected! WILL DO BUSINESS WITH AGAIN AND AGAIN! THANKS MARIO!Quote:

Never thought of that.... Brilliant idea!Quote:

Huh. And this is where ''assuming'' something comes into play. If I remove the steel box from mine and sell them to my yard they downgrade it to computer board which they only pay 10 cents a lb for. I was like, are you serious?????Quote:

Of course, I never asked either! (assuming) came back to bite me!
question.... was this edited? Coulda' swore I saw more on the breakdown before?... :)Quote:

I don't have the yard option at all around here, they only want to pay steel for the whole thing, that is why I clean it up so it packs tight and heavy.Mario is a great guy to work with and he answers stupid questions too! If you don't ask you never know!
Mario the sorting fee for hdd boards, I am assuming that you are getting boxes of mixed boards together?
Yes, we are finding an abundance now of optical drive boards ending up in hard drive board mixes. Please keep them separated to avoid the charge.Quote:

Sent a number of lots up this week, and I really have nothing good to say about my experience.
Nope, what I have to say is more like stupendous, superb, excellent, exemplary, magnificent, tip-top, world class, service and turn around.
OK, mayyyybe good would have said it all. But that, would have been a boring read! :cool:
Thanks, Mario and staff! Ya'll rock!
I am BroJer ... and I approve this message. ;)
Question. Does ewasted have a drive up location or phone number. I'd rather drive and drop off for maximum learning before shipping which to me is like cooking. Very poor skills or drive . Ijs. Face to face is my choice. Bad choice ? Maybe not possible ? Thanks for input.
Never been there (to far for me) but all his contact info is on the website and from what I understand he prefers appointments when delivering the material in person........I only speak from what I have seen here on the web.........Remember they are a biz with m-f type hours (I think).....So if you email them on the weekend you might not get a response untill monday..........Good luck and you can't go wrong dealing with these guysQuote:
