NEW shipping charges from USPS

[sprchng]

I don't have any original detector boxes to measure but on Monday April 4th , all boxes shipped through the postal service over 30" in length will be assessed a $15 surcharge. Shipper/seller beware!

Like everything else, it's Putin's fault. They can no longer blame Trump, and as we all know........it isn't the Residents fault.

Another reason not to use the post office for shipping large packages. Excessive shipping time and lousy tracking # system is bad enough!

Yeah, that's the first of many reasons not to use Govt. functions. The fact is, the Govt. isn't functioning in most areas all that well. They can't jail us all, we all need to quit paying taxes until they come around to our line of thinking. And thanks for the info,sprchng. HH jim tn

F19 and Nokta Impact factory box--22"
XP Deus--24"
Teknetics Omega 8500--28"
Tesoros came in boxes at least as small as the F19 but I didn't crawl into the attic to measure them. Every detector I have (over a dozen) will fit in a box smaller than 30 inches.

I will use fedex or UPS only

I have two Minelab CTX 3030 lower shafts that are 32". If I cut 3" off to fit in a box do you think a buyer would notice? Crazy thing is they weigh about 6 oz.

UPS sucks! My USPS here has consistently been wonderful for decades.

Bummer but if I had a CTX, I don't think I would be shipping it anywhere. But if I did, I would put them in the box corner to opposite corner. The bus wouldn't have to be too deep.

That is pretty much my experience here. i wouldn't say wonderful but I will say better than Fed Ex and UPS. However, some of the things that are shipped to me by USPS from certain cities can have problems leaving there. I imagine it is the same for Fed Ex and UPS, if you have good employees in your area, your experience will be better.

It takes a box 23" square probably 2" tall , I done the math!!

UPS might be doing something similar, the F75+ box is 30” and UPS quoted me $102 to ship a 9 pound 31x16x10 box. USPS was $92.

Now that we should blame Biden! He and the left raised prices to get more tax dollars coming in daily

 

[5900_XL-1]

I simply avoid United Parcel Service with a passion. Way more lousy experiences, than USPS. USPS actually delivers early many times. UPS is a PITA here.

 

[Waterdog]

All I can say " Biden did that "

 

[Picketwire]

Until we start producing our own oil, I don't see it getting better.

 

[Ronstar]

Geez, at this rate I’m going to have to start keeping the zincolns for gas money…..

Oh HELL,,,,it was terrible during Trump. Give me a break.

He's Got to be Proud.

5900-XL-1, you are so right. $2 gas. No inflation. More secure southern border. No trannys heading up government offices. No one heading us to WWIII. A president who was actually self aware. It was just horrible.
