    For me shipping makes all the difference on profit selling used parts. I spend far too much time doing the needed research. Since I live on the east coast I find that the USPS Regonial Boxes great for out to the Mississippi. After that Priority Mail using my box or a USPS Flat rate box. It is rare that the USPS Parcel Select beats out the USPS Prioity.



    Occasionally Fedex beats USPS for me but then I have to drive to the Fedex location so if its less than a couple of dollars and I need to leave the house anyway I pass on Fedex.

    I have yet to find UPS giving me a good enough price to even ship one item.

    So what does that have to do with your question well I ship items several times a week and have to check before listing and shipping.

    You will need to do your own research for your own special situation. 73, Mike
