    it sucks when the few guys in the country doing ewaste pay less than half of what u guys get in that part of the world

    Man that's brutal , I just sent 99lbs for $86 . If I were you I would only ship ram,CPUs and fears drive boards . Sell anything else locally to help pay the shipping. . Just my 2 cents

    If you a sending by fed ex, keep your boxes under 75 pounds. That is the magic number where cost changes dramatically

    70 Pounds seems to be the magic number for me, unless something changed.

    Could be! I always thought it was 75. To be safe, keep your boxes below 70 pounds. Above that and FedEx seems to have higher rates.
