I just sent a $1000 of motherboards and cd drive boards to Ewasted. Haven't got the check yet, but it has been a very smooth process and cheap, cheap shipping having him do it for you. I saved about 40% on shipping cost of what it would have cost me to ship.
So this brings up my next question I need help with. I'm thinking of just getting a pallet and big gaylord box and waiting to ship things in once it is full. But - - - how do I weigh the gaylord once it is full???? I just do this out of my garage, not like I have a big scale on hand. I have checked and there is no place to rent a pallet scale around here. I imagine I would need to weigh the gaylord before I ship it, right? Any help?
Thanks,
You can buy a small scale for under $50 that goes up to 330 Lbs or so. Just weigh smaller amounts and keep track. Then add around 75 lbs for pallet and gaylord. Also do you have a plan on geting the gaylord loaded into the truck?

A couple options I can think of:
1. Ask a local scrap yard to borrow the use of their scale for a minute.
2. Keep a running tally of the weight of things you put into the gaylord.

I've thought of the running tally, and I could just write on the side of it the new additions. That might be the best solution. I've got a 60 lb scale (and a bathroom scale) which would be adequate.
As far as loading it, I would pay the freight company to load it. Sure there will be a fee, but for a whole gaylord, it can't be that much per lb. Asking a local scrap yard means I have to put it on my truck and then off again. Not worth it. And then my local guy wouldn't appreciate that I wasn't selling it to him.He gives me better prices than ewasted on large socket green boards, so I don't want to mess with that relationship.

I haven't done much freight shipping, but unless you have a loading dock or a forklift, I've been charged around $100 extra for them to use a truck with a lift gate.

My scales go up to 500# and cost less than $60 from new egg.

If you have a loaded gaylord on the truck, get a net weight on the empty truck first. Go back and weigh the loaded gaylord. You can use the local yard's scale or the local grain elevator's scale. (their certified also) We have a small trucking company that will take off a pallet from your truck for the price of a cup of coffee. (no, not Starbucks)

Another med flat rate box of processors on its way to Mario and the boys.

What category would LGA775 socket boards fall under?
|
|
Like processor type or grade of board? I believe they are p4 processor type and are considered small socket. Now as far as if you get top $$$ depends on if they are the multicolored or all green. All green is always better price wise.

Sent a load in a couple weeks ago. I was very happy with the service and was able to recoup about $1.25k from a coworker's bad purchase. Glad to have this option available, and I will be using these guys again very soon.
Thanks for the help!

As usual top notch service.....Loading boxes as fast as I can to send to ewasted
|
It feels great to wake up in the morning, check your bank account online and find out that you just had a direct deposit amount from Ewasted for over $1000. If only I didn't have to go to my "regular" job, I could break more material down. I did save money by sending 6 sixty-five pound boxes at one time rather than sending one box per day for 6 days.

Like clockwork....Only piece of mail in the box today was from CFCS

The issue is not them. It is the fact that you are shipping from Canada. There has to be a declared value for shipments crossing the border.
