I have tried to locate a thread on this topic of money $pecific$ on the cost to ship an average ukulele. What has been your experience? The average cost give or take adding the case, size, double boxing. I realize its variable but should come close.
I want to post a ukulele for sale in the marketplace. I'm confused about cost to ship.
I received a uke from a member and he paid about $23 for 2 day priority mail via the USPS. I went to my P.O. inquiring about a price, using his box and I was quoted $24, presumably because my box included a heavier case. So ..... Just to be sure, yesterday I went in with same box and 4 lbs of ukulele (with HSC) and was quoted $61. This was a different clerk. How are these prices fluctuating to 3X the amount?
What is the most reasonable, cost effective way to ship? I see most people include shipping in their list price. I was planning to do that til I realized it's a crap shoot. Please share with me your experience.
Who is your preferred shipper? CONUS
$$ how much do you expect to pay?$$
Do you ever post the price of the ukulele and leave the buyer the shipping fees?
