    I just sent a large box to Ewasted last week and it was going to be the same either way...Could vary for others I suppose.

    It depends on if you have a fedex account. I know that I just sent up the account here at my job and the offer different types of discount packages that you can choose from. There is one that you get a bigger discount if you send more quantity, one that you get a bigger discount when it weighs more and there was one other one I just can't remember it. Hope this helps!

    Keep in mind Box SIZE if it's over-sized they charge more, but it it's just Dense it should be comparable.

    You have 2 posts both bashing fed ex . No intro either ? Are you a scrapper or just a disgruntled ups employee ?

    You forgot option 3..Troll in training.

    One post wonders complaining about a company or service are signs of a troll in your area.

    This applies to many forums, an the internet at large, not just here.

    If your not a troll..come back with something other then ranting an raving in caps, post a intro, an I"ll retract. Till then..I ain't feeding it.
