116 BUX to ship fenders!!!!????!!

[bad01300ex]

Ok so i sold some fenders on ebay and went to UPS today and they wanted 116 dollars:eek2:

So the box they are in is roughly the same size as my frame was, and it only cost like 50 buck. And the fenders only weith 17 lbs!!

Any suggestions??????????????

I think they just wrap them with plastic wrap, slap a label on them and its like $15 bucks

yep, ive done that sevral times but sometimes UPS will give you grief about it not being boxed.

What:confused: That's crazy, where are they going? Try DHL. I shipped out a set of fenders in a box for like 20 bucks or something.

Ive sold alot of plastic on e-bay this winter an DHL is reasonable do it on line pick a time for pick-up , print off a label , an shrink wrapper her up .

I don't know if it's just me , but did anyone else notice that once the new year rolled around , that the shipping prices with UPS went through the roof ?? Before Christmas I did an online quote to send tires .... after the holidays I quoted it again and it was about 40% more than the original . :confused:

Try pricing shipping with FedEx .... they seem to have the cheapest rates out of the two ..... we don't have DHL around here so I can't compare with them .

I sent nerfbars and a few other thingsusing FedEx from Canada to New Jersey and it only cost me $36 CDN ... and the box was fairly big and weighed 20 lbs .

Make sure you clicked on regular ground, and not next-day-air or something like that. It's easy to do on their site.

UPS had a price increase we had to deal with it here at work. Its a fuel surcharge basically. UPS is marking up shipping to cover fuel

well i just got off the phone with DHL, they are picking up the same box for 49 bux, and UPS wanted 116:rolleyes:

i sent a full st of 400ex front and rear fenders by ups a few weeks ago form cooperstown pa to scince hill kentucky, it cost 31.87. they all fit in one box too..

I sent my stock ones to PA from IN, though DHL all i did was wrap them in plastic, and it was only like 15-20 bucks.
