    My way of doing this from further away than you(I live in coastal North Carolina and ship to Ewasted in northern Ohio) has been save up enough for a pallet and get comparatively cheap shipping.



    One of our members has a service to arrange shipping. Ewasted has been able to arrange it for me in the past.

    So decreasing the shipping costs can make a significant change to your profit.

    I was never a big player in this scraping business, my largest shipment was two pallets of about 1100 lbs gross but usually shipped only one pallet at a time. Its been a couple of years now but I may have even gotten under $0.20/lb for shipping.

    Do yourself a favor and look over all our member buyers here on the forum. Be very mindful that there is current feedback before you comment to dealing with them. On the first page the buyer will tell you how best to contact them, it does very from buyer to buyer. 73, Mike
