what to use for cheapest shipping of PC, Monitor etc.

[flexy]

want to ship my comp

and a 19" CRT monitor
from Chicago to Tennessee.

I am sure some already know the best rates, so i figure i might ask here before i check around on UPS/FedEX, USMail.

thanks

FedEx Ground (or Home Delivery if shipping to a residence). Especially to TN (Memphis is home to FedEx's major hub).

Funny.. it's almost worth it to try and sell it before you leave - it's so expensive to ship that stuff. I'm moving back to CA, from NJ and I'm trying to sell as much of my computer stuff as possible - it's too damn expensive to ship everything!

go to each site, enter zip codes for origin and desitination city. Enter weight (and insurance value, if you want insurance). Select "Ground" as the shipping method. it is easy as that

If you dont know the exact weight, guess it (and round it up to the nearest 10)

Heads up: Fedex ground thrashed my PC, and yes, it was packed well.

I'm sure that someone could say the same thing about all of the companies listed above.

more important that the cheapest, is who is going to stand by the insurance promise best.

I believe that is Fedex Express' major hub


You might just want to ditch the CRT.


USPS Parcel Post(or media mail ) and put insurance if your cheap
But the insurance claim sucks ass. You need a lot of proof and there will be a long return time.


But again I'd say Fedex Ground Home Delivery is the best way to go.
