FedEx Ground is often cheaper than UPS Ground these days.

FedEx or USPS. All other services will break your stuff.

Cheaper to sell it locally and AVOID SHIPPING!

monitors unless great ones never should ship 2nd hand.

I work for a fortune 400+, we are the central location for the infrastructure that's handled...I ship about 2 PC's a month....I deploy 10x that locally.

I can send a Dell GX270/280 pizza box for about $20? (accounting told me it's about $20 ground $40 2 day and $100 over night, I just ship slowest to get there when needed) east to west coast....it's 28lbs in a 20x20x12 box.

add the 17" and it gets insane considering you can buy a 17" CRT dirt cheap locally.

New 17" CRT will be under $75 for reasonable quality.

Shipping for an indivigual will be $20-$40 for a monitor

Therefore regarding a used monitor, it is not worth it for the buyer if they have to pay for shipping; Loss for seller to ship it.
