Some days I agree. We have used him for about 15 years. His other mechanic lost a leg last year to sugar and came back in the fall. He went out again early February losing toes on the good leg. So just 1 guy in the shop. Here is the kicker for me, he own's the bus company I drive for and often charges me a shop rate of $60 an hour. So, catch 22 at times.
Sorry to hear about your truck Mark. Hopefully you’ll be back up and running soon.
I have the truck and am getting local jobs done, just not worth risking travel jobs until it is fixed right.
Take it up to $30. I think you only have three medium boxes left (19, 20, and 41), but I'd find it perfectly fair to pay $30 for those and any future boxes. It's still a great bargain!
I agree and think you should raise the price on the boxes , I will buy more also the 3 I purchased was worth the price to me. To me it wasn't just the wood in the box but the curiosity of what is all In The box and the story of where it came from , I'm still new I think I made this acct late last year , so I have no knowledge of who paul was but from what I've learned on this site about him i tell people when they ask where I got all those different species of wood so raising the price is still worth the curiosity of the box and the story of how i ended up with those pieces.
Have you looked at pirateship.com? It gives huge discounts and searches USPS, FedEx, and UPS.
Pirate ship is the greatest thing ever, but it's obviously more work for Mark since he needs to quote shipping on each box. It's almost always less than $25 for anything I've bought or sold here. Though i did try to do a test quote of a MFR box at 20-25lbs and going to some obscure remote address across the country, and it was like $40. So obviously it may not necessarily be less than $25 in every case.
I thought that the weight limit was 70 lbs to any state in the U.S. ? Maybe they changed that?
What i meant what that i quoted a parcel with the equivalent dimensions as a MFR box. I was trying to compare pirate ship rates to USPS flat rates in a worst case scenario.

Box 40 has just arrived (after a little adventure; it got misdirected and was stuck in Benton, Arkansas for a few days, a fate I wouldn't wish on anyone). Everything looks great, with a couple of very nice surprises among the "packing peanuts." Thanks again!
