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!
