So, these $79 to $99 prices to ship our toys are interesting...

[arbycoffee]

they don't take in the grith of the package in the cost, you pay more for over 108 inches and even more over 120 inches, and still more over 150 inches

[birdbrain]

plus the cost of materials

[droopy]

so it sounds like $79 to $99 sounds reasonable!

So you're saying there's a $30 to $50 upcharge from what that site is showing?

If that's the case, what good is that site? Seems odd to me.

[arbycoffee]

All they are doing is running a comparing services, The girthing is not figured in their posting, but you will be back charged the girth surecharge by shipper

[luckydog]

Fedex, Ca to FL for about 55.00 on the site.

[d mowery]

The bigger they are the more the cost , We ship some light stuf IE RC car bodies weight 4 to 6 lb with box cost about 30.00 most areas because the shipper goes by size thats UPS`

[scooby_doo_m2002]
