Shipping Prices *READ* I have found that its real shitty that I've sold some parts on here (look at my location) for decent deals because I get decent shipping but I find it hard to get decent shipping out here.
Where do I get decent shipping? At the ******* post office.
They are cheaper then Fedex and UPS.
Boy I can't wait to get off of this ******* island. If its not being able to get a decent deal on a part off of here (which is what the For Sale section is for) or sellers on ebay refuse to even look up the price of shipping here.

Are you going to like a shipping store. Even though they serve fedex/ups they've got a sizeable markup to pay their storefront, etc. They're basically privately owned chains. You'll get a considerably better rate if you go directly to fedex or ups main office that's corporately owned. Some will have that office at the a terminal. Here the ups main office is at their terminal whereas fedex the office is at another location. Although I don't know if you can ship from any terminal if there's not an office there.

Or
People won't even bother too look up the shipping numbers because of where I live.
Yeah. Thanks to my Navy detailer for sending me here. Hey I could be in Iraq.

To add to your information. You can get the same rate for shipping an item at the UPS customer counter as you can at a UPS store. The UPS stores make their mark up on packing materials not the shipping. UPS will not allow them to mess with the shipping rates.

Then I had to go to a UPS terminal to ship something and I told the worker there what happened about the tape and he said he always puts extra tape on peoples boxes for FREE.

I generally use the USPS when I'm shipping stuff or I ship stuff through work and get the benefits of a nice company discount.
So sorry to hear that you hate living in HAWAII so much........I'm sure there are PLENTY of people that would trade places with you in a heartbeat.

I know a lot about UPS worked there in Engineering for two and a half years. Of course I got tired of the hours and constant travelling so I now work for the Louisiana Dept of Environmental Quality.

Its just like right now on ebay.
tnamotorsports (I dunno if they are a sponsor) has a badass deal on the SLP LM catback. But I've asked for a shipping quote to hawaii 3 ******* times and each time they ask for my full address and after I give it to them they stop responding.
How can they offer 2 dollars shipping to the continental us on a $400 catback but seemingly refuse to help out a military guy in Hawaii.
Like I said. I miss out on the best deals because there is always the "no shipping to hawaii" stipulation or they will offer a badass ******* deal on shipping to the continental U.S. but won't help you out if you live elsewhere.
/whiny bitch off
lol
