I had 2.31 lbs connectors
2.98 lbs Memory gold
.65 Green fiber w/al cap
.12 AMD cer
.16 Green fiber w/al cap pinless
.06 P1
.05 misc ceramic
.04 Intel 486
.05 AMD 486
.1 Cyrix M11
.67 Rambus
.13 Green fiber
.22 Black fiber
.39 AMD Cer
16.7 floppy drives
4.8 Motherboards
5.8 fingerboards
2.0 serverboards
8.17 hd w/pcb
45 lbs of stuff was $178.83 less shipping of $37.73 so a total of $141.10!
Next time I think I will break down the floppy/dvd/cd drives as I only made $3.01 for them and they added over 16 lbs to the package! Also will see what the difference in shipping is if I bring the package to Fed X instead of them picking up at my house.
Would do this again! Thanks Ewasted!
Assume the delay in payment was due to the Holiday. Is everyone else still receiving theirs within a week or so? Mario has always paid me direct deposit. Quick and painless. The only issue I've had is on my last shipment - my print-out requested items to be sorted together. Kind of confused me as my impression was they sort for you. I bag processors, Ram, HDD boards, etc separate, but never sorted MB's by grade. I also boxed MB's and finger cards together. When I inquired further here is what I was told:
"For memory, individually baggy the gold trim, silver/tin, and rambus – or rubberband them in bundles separated.
Same with CPUs.....
Motherboards stack them one face up, one facing down. Keep all the green motherboards together then use the Chinese boards.
We do some sorting here but it helps expedite the process if you can sort stuff that is already in your hands when boxing it up. In shipping it goes everywhere so we are searching for tiny sticks of ram to make sure we are paying you out on your material.
On the motherboards, remove the batteries, steel plates if there are any on the rear of the board, and aluminum heatsinks.
We have some pictures coming up soon and videos!"
Hope this helps anyone needing further explanation.
