Alternate Shipping Options

[buxmj]

There are 2 shipping options some of you may not know about.  If you guys are shipping to a fellow mj owner or just needing to ship something to friends or family and the item might be too big or expensive to go with one of the common options, ups, fedex, usps etc., you can check into uship.com or greyhound shipping.  I used uship to get my new (used) topper from South Carolina to me without having to drive to get it.  I only paid 100 for the topper and it only cost me 300 to have someone put it on their trailer and bring it to the Orlando area.  Now this was 5 years ago but even then it was cheaper and easier than driving to get it myself.  You post your item and then people bid and you can choose who to go with but you are not obligated to use them.  I needed to ship a family made cradle from Orlando to Kansas City and after I received a few bids I pulled the ad, I think they thought it was a priceless heirloom, I received bids from 900 and up.  That experience made me remember how I received something I bought on ebay, Greyhound shipping.  You can take any package to a Greyhound terminal and they can ship it to another terminal for a lot less than the other options.  The online estimate for fedex was 250 and I made a plywood box for the cradle and it was 80 with Greyhound.

Hope this helps someone,

Buck.
