I found someone interested in an IBM 5394 unit I came across recently. They made me an offer on it, so I went to see about what it would cost to ship. It weighs 15Lbs and is 16x17x5", guessing 18Lbs and 22x25x11 for estimating shipping costs. I'm in VA, they are in NM. Cheapest option USPS has to offer (via Paypal shipping) is $86. Even visited the local PO to confirm there wasn't a cheaper option I was overlooking. UPS and Fedex are right in line, I think UPS came back with $83. Sounds like the new "dimensional weight" rates combined with the distance involved is driving up the cost. Wow.
So...just wondering, does anyone here know of a more affordable shipping option for old computer stuff? I have some excess medium-vintage stuff I was thinking of trying to find new homes for, but if it costs that much to ship, not sure it would be worth it...
Thanks,
Wesley
