We ship a pallet with a gaylord as low as $60.
We can have up to 2000 lbs on a pallet and up to 8 feet tall.
Our average weight we ship is 1200 pounds, taking our shipping down to 5 or 6 cents per pound.

Guess it depends on what and quantity you're shipping. I like the USPS flat rate boxes. BUT....... I recently got burned pretty good by them. Shipped a 50# ingot of lead to a member here. It failed to arrive, so now I'm out another 50# plus another postage.
My fault for not ordering tracking AND insuring it for twice the value...

Try to find somone close to you rather than ship it across the US. Its easier to keep track of the items you send.
We are always looking for new sellers.
