To anyone who has shipped an amp (recently) how much was the bill? I may list one of my amps for sale and was just curious of what the US rates were these days?

$70-100 lately, depending on weight, size, distance, etc. I've also noticed there can be as much as a $20 difference between UPS/FedEx/USPS. for the same shipment.

Yeah that's cool with me, was just looking for a range as I have 1 big heavy amp and one smaller sized. Anything $100 and under sounds good. Still debating but I may have a big sell off soon and just trying to calculate some things.
 
Distance is a big factor. Go to the USPS web page and use the calculator. A 1 pound difference could be a $1.00 difference in price.

If it's an eBay or Reverb deal, their shipping discount can be significant. FedEx and UPS are about 10% cheaper if you use your own account than just dropping off and let them print the label. And for USPS, check out the "secret" PayPal shipping link.

Holy crap that is a huge discount.

I did a fake shipment to NY and it shows under $13 with $2k of insurance.

I assume an amp in a box would meet the Large Flat Rate Box criteria.

Thanks for posting that.
 
Yea amps through Reverb only. About $50 if you're within a few states. Cross country...there's nothing you can really do about that.
 
Seems like rates are all over the place. $35, $125.

Either way at least it's not $200+. If I ship I'm gonna try that PayPal link.
 
I ship amps a lot all via FedEx. 50lb mostly and it’s gone up some.. 70 to 88.00 insured. Now don’t pack it in a insanely huge box, size matters in the price.. also don’t insure it for a insane amount either..

Same, I just sent one out. The link with the coupon only showed Large Flat Rate Box as the Largest which does not fit an amp.

But it was still under $100 which is what I was hoping for so all good. :rock:
