Agreed.......You do not need names and phone # of shipping companies........The larger buyers on here can get a better price than any individual.......They are receiving multiple pallets daily and they are already on the FREIGHT "routes" so to speak...........Oh well if any of those HD's are SATA check out my buyers thread would love to have some

There are 6 active tech buyers on the forums ... and yes I have attempted to contact anyone with a thread that has been updated within the last 5 months.
Any way, hard drives are worthless when they have a hole drilled into them, and are missing the boards. It doesn't really matter any way. I sold the lot to the local scrap yard for $0.08lb.
This is kind of interesting thread. I request information for a shipping company, and several individuals become hostile. Why are you's afraid to give out information?
I now have a list of 31 shipping companies that I have quotes from. None of them come close to the the prices mentioned above. Unfortunately this leads me to believe some folks may be "fudging" the numbers - after all, if the prices are genuine, why the hostility when asked what company provides the service?

On a side note: the closest buyer in PA is 210 miles from me, closest NY buyer is 253 miles. ( and yes I actually used Google Map )

Not hostile at all..........The bigger buyers on this forum shop the best rates for you..........I use Central Transport..........I did not even know they had a drop off here in town..........It is less than 7 miles from my house I pull up with a wrapped pallet and they unload it off my truck with a forklift...........The process could not be any easier..........Why would I lie.........Just sent off another load Friday....was quoted $106 for a 750LB pallet...........Oh well

Auburn E-waste basically spoon fed you in post # 10. You will have to look at the buyers thread and analyze his post a little, but it is all right there.

I don't think that people are being hostile with you, but are extremely frustrated that someone that has been a member since 2014, either hasn't been paying attention or hasn't done any reading on his own. I can vouch that there is a shipper on here with excellent prices. I have shipped loads between 800 and 1200 miles, weights between 500 and 2000 pounds and paid between 10 and 20 cents a pound. In addition to shipping LTL, I have personally looked into FTL shipments and anything within a days drive of me is less than $1000. A 10 ton load sent FTL would only cost about $0.05 per pound.
