Since im parting out the cobra i am getting hammered with all these buyers wanting shipping quotes and rather than going and getting a quote from local ups everytime. What website and link are you guys using to get faster quotes that are accurate.If you could steer me the right way i would really appreciate. Thanks all and have a good day. 5307748968

When I shipped a k-member to Texas I used UPS website to get the quote. I think you just have to enter the size of the box, weight, and destination and it'll give you the quote right there. If I remember correctly though it quoted me just a little bit more than what it actually cost me when I went in.

See thats exactly what im talking about neight. Everytime i tried to get a quote online it always came out to be more than when i would actually just go to the post office and ask them how much it actually is. Seems online is never accurate or always cost more then just any normal walk in shipping service. Thats what im trying to avoid. Thanks for the reply neight

Yeah you might have to actually go in to get accurate quotes. I think they do it that way online to give themselves a cushion in case it's more. I'm sure they'd lose costumers if every time I went to get a quote online and they quoted me $5 and I go in and have to pay $7 its no big deal but when its like that every time you ship something you'd take your business elsewhere.
