It took me forever to finally break it down and get it packed in boxes, mostly due to my own laziness, but my first load made it to the FedEx drop-off point today. Two boxes totalling about 150 lbs. of material. I hope I have it all prepared, packaged, and secured to make it worthwhile for both me and Ewasted. So far my experience with Ewasted and his staff has been awesome. I did use his prepaid shipping service, and it saved me about 30%. His staff even gave me some pointers on how I can save another 15% if I package it differently next time.
I will follow up in this thread for any onlookers who are interested in a review from someone who has only been doing this for a few weeks. I am pretty much a newb at this and this will be my first load of e-waste sold to anyone. There are a couple of local buyers, but Ewasted's prices are better, even after I deduct the shipping costs. Fingers crossed for a good payday. :)
What were the shipping pointers? I'm prepping a large load to ship, and curious about this.Quote:

For shipping I used UPS since I have an account with them. Was $43 to send, but they ended up charging an extra $11 saying wrong address plus $4 something saying it is residential. So I will probably try Ewasted shipping next time too.
They are screwey as that address is part of a big warehouse complex, jees, what a ripoff.Quote:

I read the tips from Recyclotrops and was wondering if anyone had confirmed that with a shipment. I'll try it out and let you guys know what the cost was. Thanks all.
I just completed a transaction with E-Wasted. Sold 41 lbs of stuff and got 101.70 after shipping. I used his pre-paid shipping labels which made it really easy. He sorted, processed and cut a check all within about a day, Couldn't have been easier. I highly recommend this buyer.
I would guess three boxes for that load. It sounds similar to mine. I was informed that FedEx charges an oversized load fee if the box weighs more than 65 lbs. So, keep each one under 65 lbs. Also, you can always check with his staff when you register your shipment. They will help you choose the most affordable shipping method.Quote:

Another round of applause for "E" and the staff at C4CS.
To those that have NOT shipped anything to Ewasted yet...START PACKING IT UP NOW!!
I will share for those that have asked questions about the shipping, or are new to the site and looking for a GOOD buyer to work with.
1)If you want to deal with people you can trust to grade your shipment right, Ewasted and his staff exceed my expectations in fairness! BUT, if you want a good buyer, be a good seller! ie, remove all the batteries and excess metal. (while E has said in regards to the bracket on the finger cards, that it is "ok to leave for now" I remove them all. he is paying me for boards not shred material)
2)Try to keep the shipping weight right at 65-68 lbs. For me to ship cartons that are 75+ is about 34.50. it is 23.00 under 70. (from Cincy)
3)I fill the areas on the side and between MOBO's with side cards and other material that will be easy to sort when the box is open. All the small stuff ie, eproms, chips, ram, etc i put into baggies. (ok, E...sorry bout all that last min cra* i tossed on top) :p
4) BE PATIENT after you ship your material off. The turn around time is exceptional. I have been up there and it is a busy place. If it seems like it is taking a little time...GOOD! they are taking their time to grade things well which benefits us all! If they took a shovel to get through YOUR box quicker...that would be fine with me, if they are then hand sorting all of mine! HA
5)on payment. there is certainly an advantage at times to have it sent via Paypal but then add that fee to the shipping and it is less in the pocket. I have it sent to PP but then use it for purchases and gain the fees back through the spending. If you can wait for the check, do it. If you need it now, PP is the way to go, but try and avoid taking it all out as cash so to max profit.
that is my 2.
Blessings to all! BroJer
oh yea...hey E...Wiggly says hi :)
Following up with the shipment that I sent last week. The check arrived today, exactly one week after I shipped the material. Actually, a bit less than a week, since I didn't drop it off until late afternoon last Friday and the check arrived this morning (the following Friday). Overall I have zero complaints. The staff was awesome, the online chat on Ewasted's site was helpful, the prepaid shipping labels saved me a few bucks, and the prices were either as expected or better than expected. Between FedEx and Ewasted, I always knew where my material was and what stage of processing it was in, and before you know it, I was notified that a check was on it's way. I hope it was as good for Ewasted as it was for me. :)
I'd love to sit here and praise Cash for Computer Scrap all day long, but I have a check I need to go cash and it is the weekend in an East Coast beach town. I can't sit here at my computer all day or I would miss all the fun.
has any one had trouble getting a lot id # today ive tryed three or four times and all i get is the little thingee going round,round round,,,,,,,,,,,,. is it on this end or is his end full.
I agree, I take the time out to remove all of them as well, It just seems like bad form to leave them on.Quote:

Fast, friendly and professional ... What else could you ask for :-) AAA+++
What grade do you classify CD/DVD Boards?? What grade are Floppy Boards??
CD/DVD are considered peripheral boards, and floppy's are usually low grade if their brown. A lot of people snap the row of pins off them but I just sell them whole but that's not always possible if you have to ship your stuff.Quote:

Ewasted buys cd/dvd drive boards from me at mother board grade as long as i dont have too much.Quote:

Just was on your site and tried to get a package slip to mail you a package and no luck, so tried to send you a message no luck! Is there a problem with your site today? I have used it in the past and now it wont load!
i check my account no issues email him here for faster way info@cashforcomputerscrap.com
Use the online chat on main page. It works well.
Ok well i just had got my email with two package slips lol! so I guess I'm good now, I will just use one of them. Thanks all!
Hello Everyone,
Thought I would chime in with a review of CashforComputerScrap. The entire process from me sending out the Fedex boxes to receiving payment in my PayPal account took exactly 7 days. Was very satisfied w/ the end result. And am currently filling another box. I had sent in 6 boxes weighing in at 392lbs.
Our main focus is online sales, so the scrapping takes a backseat at times. I normally just bring in my tin & wire on a weekly basis, have a sorting room w/ bins for everythign else from lithium ion batteries to dirty aluminum (aluminum breakage). Currently have around 10 towers to pick up tomorrow and several tons of #2 iron to pick up form a farm yard just outside the city limits.
Now back to the huge stacks of boxed inventory to go thru.. Can't keep up this time of year.
TJ
Thanks for the opportunity TJ!
