Discount Shipping

Sign in to disble this ad
I was prowling around looking for "rate of the day" for shipping off a pair of cabs. In that hunt, I stumbled (thank you Google) a web based shipping company at Shipping, Freight and Moving Headquarters. Shipping Rates, Freight Shipping, Shipping Rates and International Shipping. - Shipping Sidekick

They offer some very appealing discount rates for the big three carriers - USPS, FedEx and UPS.

Hey, if they are for real, it is a good day for us who are moving gear in or out.

Has anybody used them? If so, any downsides?

Thanks!

Jim

I have no idea who these folks are, but I do know that there are freight agents who negotiate rates for their clients and do all the arranging for shipments. I also know that I negotiated a 63% freight discount for the firm that I used to work for. There is no need to pay full price for freight.

Also, provide a commercial address for the shipment and pick it up at the depot.
