Title: What's the best method for shipping a glass bezel and getting the cost down ?
Post by: mrclean on April 07, 2009, 04:43:17 pm

I'm trying to get a glass bezel shipped, and noticed that some people are able to ship them for around 15 bucks, the person quoted me at 54.00 to ship the glass which I won't do. (That was fed-ex / ups) How do you safely ship the glass for around 15 bucks ?

Parcel post USPS. Make sure it's padded reaalllly well. The 3 times I shipped glass, I shipped it cradled in styrofoam with lots of packing materials.

Sorry for the late reply... The post office was somewhere around $20 to ship it.
