It was a great tip and thank you. The fed ex website says that you will be recieving it today. The only problem with smaller boxes is less of an opprunity to sort more. I had to do a lot more shoving this time. I did the best I could with some of the stuff. But motherboards have a bunch of other stuff in it, for that box.

I just got the labels for 2 boxes. One box was 45 lbs, one was 60 lbs. The 6o lbs box was only 2.00 more than the 45 lbs box. It is certainly more efficient to keep the weights around 60 lbs. I'm fairly close to ewasted but you can certainly see the difference in price.

Lol - just saw Ewasted updated the prices. I hope they went up since I have 3 boxes about to go out the door. 3 boxes - right at 20 lbs each and the quoted price of shipping is under $37. Much better rates then you would get yourself. This will be my 3rd transaction with the company. Already working on my next shippment. Just ran out of room to store stuff.

Well just got the prepaid label emailed to me, looks like $37.73 to mail a 45 lb box! Better than $41.80 USPS and $49.05 Fed X without prepaid.
Can't wait to see how this goes! I did add a note stating my Scrap Metal Forum ID (not sure if it gets better pricing or not)!

where is ewasted located? I might just drive there

Post #31, I recommend to read this entire thread so you become more familiar with ewasted but, it is a pretty simple process.

Quick question about Fedex picking up packages at your door. Do I need to be home for them to be picked up? Or can I leave them on my front porch all ready to go? Shipment going out tomorrow Ewasted!

Followup to the above question - Does it cost more for front porch pickup than it does if I drop it off?

Can anyone verify this??? I'm not sure that is correct. It cost me 24.00 to send 60 lbs to ewasted. There is not much room to add extra fees for having them picked up at my door. I would be willing to drop my packages off if it was even 5.00 cheaper.

I emailed you yesterday ewasted. Waitin on a response and will have a shipment ready in a week or so

Got my check today, cashed it, and am now happy. Very quick, 10 day turn around rate including shipping time!

Got results this morning for another load sent to ewasted. Very satisfied. Thanks again!

Haha, can't believe I read the whole thing! Some pages just hit the high spots, or looked for Ewasteds replies.
What if I don't have a working printer?
And, what if I'm in a rural area and have several boxes, will they charge a pick-up fee for each package? (even tho they're only making one trip/stop/pick-up to get them all?
