My problem is that I've lost track of what I've sold and what I still have. One day soon when the weather is decent, I'm going to clean out the attic and re-photograph the parts I have. There's stuff from two different hatches and a wagon up there.

lol, I drive for UPS, and yes fedex is cheaper, probably more careful with your stuff too, they would have to be, I've seen things in our center that would make you want to drive to pick up anything you order from now on

Clearly you haven't seen that recent video of a fedex guy throwing a package over a fence, I forgot the explanation of the video but the guy was tired of the people and threw the package over the fence.

at least you get to peruse your dream, I've all but given up on mine, being as far fetched as it was I've been in several bands that have came stupid close to being signed, and always done really well in my area and surrounding states, but traveling to shows is somewhat out of the question with a baby. perhaps when she is older i can try again, at least I will have plenty of material written by then

The other advantage to FedEx is that they can get your package to almost anywhere in the lower 48 in 3 days or less at the standard price.

Blu, do you go through the UPS Stores? Maybe it's different regionally, but they are astronomical here. My uncle has driven for UPS for 25-30 years and he tells me to use FedEx. LOL.

The UPS store isn't owned by UPS they are a private shipper allowed to use the name due to there sole contract with UPS but I'm fairly sure that their rates are still set by UPS corporate and should be the same everywhere

My Aunt's Father is a retired millionaire thanks to UPS. He was in management when they started up. This = lots of stock. I hate golfing with him too. Such a cheater.

UPS seems to always be cheaper than FedEx for me. Not sure why, but it is.

Speaking of parts, I have them piling up I need to start a FS thread and post this stuff in the EF parts thread.

Dreading doing this myself... coming up with prices is the worst part. I usually scan over ebay and CL before setting a price.. any other ideas?

I started using those "flat-rate" boxes.. seem to be the best bang for the buck.

I still have that 90-91 OEM front lip (new) and OEM HF bumper support (new) for sale. I should put it in the EF parts thread. Thought I'd give you all first dibs on it.
