USPS is the best way for you to ship from Canada. CFCS is a great company to work with and by far one of the best I have ever worked with. Top notch service.

USPS as in United States Postal Service? As in the "not here in Canada" Postal Service? I know it's crazy, but for some reason the Canadian government has this weird idea that they don't want the United States setting up branches of their postal service here in Canada, and instead they insist we use the Canadian postal service, Canada Post, for some strange reason. Whacky, I tell ya! Unless of course you're referring to a different USPS, in which case please pardon my confusion.

Unfortunately, using Canada Post kills the idea of cross-border shipping for recycling. I was quoted a tick over $80 for shipping a 30 lb. box to Ewasted. It seems that shipping in multiple gaylords at once is about the only way it's economically feasible.

You could use a service like "BOOKS TO THE BORDER" OR "CHIT CHATS EXPRESS" these companies work with ebayers alot. they drive over the boarder everyday and mail stuff and can save you money.

Best Price Shipping Supplies, Ship in Canada and to U.S. & International from Toronto

Check out this site, they claim they can save you 70% on shipping to the US! What I would do is see if they can drop off at a Fedex location and then you can use Ewasted prepaid labels. That would save you alot also.

I was looking at your price list and I noticed that you are now buying HD platters at .44 cents#. Is this right or am I misreading it?

Let me add another question on the new price list. The list says, Mixed computer plastic with no metal at 10 cents per pound. It doesn't need to be baled, chipped or shredded? Do you have any estimate from prior purchases how many pounds will fit into a gaylord? And would any plastic from televisions be accepted at the same price? I may need to look for a back haul from Ohio.

I missed that one about the plastic but I would thing that it would cost more than .10# to ship.

Always like seeing prices going up!

Mechanic, that's fine if you can deliver it yourself but I would have to ship so it wouldn't be worth it for me. The platters might be better to use as filler in the box.

Thanks Twisted, I never even knew services like that existed. Unfortunately ChitChat's is located, and services, the other side of the country. I emailed Books to the Border for more info, will see what happens there. Thanks!

what grade do you consider xbox and xbox 360 motherboards? I know there are a few generations of them, are they all the same price? I asked here because the answer will probably help a lot of people.

ROAD TRIP !!!!!

just did the math on my last buy. Driving out to see you will be about the same as shipping it
