    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 )
    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.
