Ask Bill The Postman
Dear Bill The Postman,
What's your opinion of the best way to ship large items? I have a kitchen cabinet, some windows, and an unwieldy motorcycle exhaust system I want to put up for auction, but I'm not sure how to work the shipping. Thanks.

Dear Dan,
The USPS will only ship items weighing under 70 lbs, so your best bet may be to ship UPS or some other service. Greyhound will also ship large packages. Stores like Mail Boxes Etc. will also handle large items for you.
If you'd like an EASY way to ship large packages, go to the AuctionBytes.com home page and click on the banner at the top of the page. Craters & Freighters is a company that will come to your home, package your item and ship it. You can use their price quote calculator and include the price of shipping in your auction description. You never have to lift a finger.
Hope that helps,
Bill the Postman
