What does the -30 taped terminal fee mean? Does that mean if you don't tape the terminal you get the fee?
If your battery ends aren't taped, they will subtract .30 per pound for batteries.
I've asked this question via PM and email. I've also searched to no avail.
I have about a gaylord box of motherboards to ship in, but they are various grades. How should I separate them? Do I need a divider between the P4+ and P3-? Or just all together and you guys sort them? If I need to separate them, but don't, how much is the sorting fee?
Obviously I can throw my RAM in a separate box on the top and I will separate the processors out by type in smaller containers.
Thanks
Please see post #1384 on this thread. I think they will separate them but, I always separate them because I know the shipment will get processed quicker. Like I said I think this is the case but, definitely get it confirmed with ewasted.Quote:

I've sent in separate 70lb boxes before - which is much easier to just wait until you have a full box. It would take a long time for me to get one gaylord of this and one gaylord of that.
Use news paper or some plastic garbage bags as a separator.Quote:

It doesn't sound like this is a common enough question to be well known?
I go by whether it's a pentium 4 and higher or pentium 3 or lower? Trick question?
Sorry I'm just being a smart ass. Read around a while and the answer will be clear.

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for.
If via pallet, motherboards can be mixed, but everything else separate.
I can do that and it will make collecting things on my end much easier. I appreciate the great service you guys provide.
I have a question about IC CHIPS , I have some low grade boards and other boards that are not worth to send due to the shipping charges, I already went to the scrapyard and they paid me 20 cents/lb, ok so Now I have another batch and was wondering if its better to remove the black chips and send them to cashforcomputerscrap since they pay $4~/LB. If so are the following chips accepted? even if I just pull em off the boards? because there are some flat ones and other ones that are bigger. please see pics. THANKS

I just completed my first transaction with Ewasted and it was great. I got more money than I was expecting and the whole process was smooth. The total time from package pickup to check received was 2 weeks. Once they received the package they processed it in 2 business days and had I chosen the paypal option their handling time would have been 3 business days. You can't ask for anything better. I can't wait to get another load to send them.
Ouch, price drop as gold went down again... just going to keep on filling up the ewaste box till prices go back up!
You could be holding for a while. Prices on gold and silver aren't looking good. Who knows when they are going to get better.Quote:

I just don't see prices going up any time soon. We have seen 3 straight drops in prices in the last few months.
My goal is gather, ship, get paid, repeat.
Good luck.
Shipping by me $.75 to $.85 per lb. so more items are below the threshold to send until price goes up!Quote:

I am sure they are only doing what they have to do to keep the doors open due to the current price of PM but OUCH.. Good luck all.
I'm looking on the bright side. It gives me time to stock and organize all of my eWaste without being in a mad rush to get everything broken down. I'm still in the process of moving into my new apartment (long story...well, not really) so a little break is welcome right now.
does anyone know if CFCS was closed today couldn't get in touch with anyone regarding pre-paid labels

Sorry for the late notice, I had false hope of power returning yesterday.
Thanks I got em!!!!Quote:

Last week was My first pallet shipment. I was kind of nervous and excited, like when your kid switches from preschool to regular school. You have done it before, but this is different. I see that he has power troubles last week, so I figure instead of lightning speed, it will be regular speed lol. Well, to make a short story long, I get at email at 5:54pm telling me my 750lb shipment has been processed, and not only was it worth more than I thought, it was worth more than I hoped.
I'll tell ya, i'm so glad I found SMF. I've learned so much from everyone here,and being an escrapper, i'm especially thankful to them for helping me to connect with a wonderful company like CFCS. Honest,efficient and professional every time. They've enriched my life-literally! LOL I recommend them to everyone!Quote:

Another shipment another check!!!....No worries here gathering more to send ASAP....THANKS
Can't go wrong with Mario and his crew at CFCS. It is an honor and a privilege just to be able to sell my material to such a great company. Not one complaint comes to mind.
Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
Can you tell me how much you pay for those "fan boxes"- the boxes bolted into the corner of a PC that has wiring harnesses that feed the CD, DVD and Hard drives?
I've got about 40 lbs of them i'm getting ready to ship to you.
Thanks!
amen to that!!
If you're talking at the large metal box with the wires coming out that powers the computer (has a fan inside it, or occasionally bolted to the outside) they are called computer power supplies. They are on the price list under "COMPUTER/SERVER PARTS." Price varies if you cut off the wire...Quote:

Do you take the ones that came from the factory with detachable cords, or do I need to throw in some non-attached VGA and power cords?
Thanks!
I would make sure you get a quote from then on shipping price. If you are only sending in the power supply boxes, I doubt you will even cover the shipping cost. .27 a pound and 40 pounds is $10.80. I think it will cost more than that to ship 40 pounds. Good luck!Quote:

@Mikeinreco- Were you paid for all of the dead LCDs? If so, that's good enough for me!
Thanks!
