Thanks to members and this website.

I sold a bunch of stuff in the marketplace in the last couple of days. Been real busy with pictures, text and PM responding. Would hate for this to be a permanent job! All the items in this picture are waiting to be shipped out to the buyers. When the money starts rolling in, the carefully packaged contents are out bound. Never had a USPS package screw up, keep your fingers crossed.

My friends wife will be pleased with the wad of cash I present her soon. Every little bit of financial help will make a difference to her.

Oh Yeah, that powder will be picked up in person soon. Buyer is in SA shooting in a tournament.

Thanks guys!

What have you guys done today?

Are they all “flat rate” boxes? If not then they charge by weight and size and could be more money.
I just shipped 4 boxes of bullets to a fellow member here. I had it in a usps small box that’s like the ones you have on the right(7”x7”x6” but not a flat rate box) and they wanted $29 to ship it. So instead I got them to fit into a small box and put it into a priority flat rate envelope(overall larger package than before..lol) and it shipped for $11.

Just a thought cause the difference could add up quick with all those packages.

Yes, most are the flat rate boxes, better weight value for sure. Those cube ones are something new stocked at my PO. The gal said mailing cost is based on weight for these. She said costs might be a wash if lighter. The items in those aren't heavy but too bulky for the small flat rate box.

If I find out ridiculous costs to mail these, I will repackage into the medium flat rate box. Your right, this pile has a big price tag to ship but was factored in to my selling prices.

With all of the previous posts describing problems with USPS and lost and damaged packages, it would be good if you would post the results of your shipments.

Great idea and I will post any issues I have. It's time to restore faith in using the good old USPS.

 

[bobm]

Whew...only seven left to ship. Not ever going to sell stuff like this again. Check your PM's boys. Goodies are on the way!

Now that guy knows his beer!!

Five boxes still yet to ship waiting on funds. So far so good, many have made it to the members fast , me being notified by PM. I will update all trader history soon, will need some dedicated computer time for that!

Did I say never doing this again? And some of you guys penmanship sucks. And always provide your user name in correspondence. Good thing I have good detective instincts to rely on. Writing "reloading supplies" on your check for 50 bucks when I have three packages for 50 bucks and no user name provided kept me busy looking for clues.

$307.45 spent on postage so far.........

Rant over.

 

[bobm]

Four remain to ship. $324.55 spent on postage so far. No reported problems, yet.

Down to three to ship. $341.65 donated to USPS..................^^^^^^ditto^^^^^^

 

[bobm]

All boxes are on the way to buyers. None left to ship. Most buyers have received their stuff via PM notification. Probably won't hear from everyone. Only one hiccup is known, one buyers funds are "still out there" somewhere yet to be delivered to me.

No sweat, he's a Gold member. His box was shipped regardless.

A whopping $393.05 was spent on shipping at USPS.

I am sorry to report there has been one problem reported to spoil this otherwise great selling and shipping effort.

A package containing 100 pcs. of new Win. .25-06 brass along with a little 37 count bonus pack of new Rem. brass and bullets was stolen from the recipients residence. USPS has determined and delivery conformation proves they did their job.

I am offering the buyer a full refund and I hope he accepts it. Wish I had more brass to send him instead.

Thieving bastards!
