    I'm not sure if I'm posting this question in the right place. Apologies in advance if not. Does anyone find a particular weight to be the most cost effective when sending in boards etc? For example would you ship 20 pounds of laptop boards to ewasted or would you wait till 50 or even bundle various items and send by freight? I appreciate anyone's input

    Freight is by far the most cost effective. Frieght makes power boards worth shipping depending on what your local yard pays for breakage.

    The answer is, it depends... different items have different values, which may depend on what cost you have into them. The ideal parcel weight is roughly 65-68 lbs per box.
    If you really want to save on shipping, you have to grow into a solid freight program with us over time.
