    Ok, you can ship detail supplies as along as they are sealed in a plastic bag, are not flamable, or hazerdous like caustic, areosol or pressurized. Flat rate priority mail USPS.

    Also, set up a USPS account, you can print labels, you get a slight discount and USPS will pick up at the doorstep for free. Most you will pay is about 6-8.00 depending on the size of the box. Also they will send you free shipping boxes etc.


    I shiped Naviwax wax to Rfinkle for 6.00 and he got it in 3 days. I sent x3 32 oz. bottles to NJ for 9.50 and it was recived in 4 days.

    Just thought I would throw that out for the guys who ship, trade and such on a regular basis.

    First of all, the naviwax got here in a hot minute (i am still wondering how it got here that fast)
    thanks again Karl.

    For referance, I sent Karl a package (UPS... i think the P stands for Poop) on the same day, and he is supposed to recieve it Monday. that's 3 shipping days (not counting the weekend) more.

    do u download the shipping program available on their site?

    if so, how do u pay for the shipping?

    I have UPS and USPS as well as DHL. FEDEx just raised thier rates. You can tie the account to your CC. UPS does not bill you until it arrives at its destination. No programs to download, just create an account.

    as a reminder those flat rate boxes have no weight limit which is way cool! If it fits, it ships at that flat rate.
