well, i went to the post office yesterday and shipped a smal box and grabbed a few flat rate boxes, went back today and sent off a box full of a-c brackets---$8.10.

ordered more boxes online, 10 of each size. had to laugh at the lady behind the counter at the p.o.when she said " somebody's getting their moneys worth". ups would have been 25 or 30 bucks.
thanks to all who replied, i really appreciate it.

I just opened my own account with FedEx. They won't pick up ground items at my house (but they will at work!) but they are very reasonable and offer 10% (as does DHL). Only issue was that I have to quote it, then ship it and hope that it comes out the same. One item was going to cost $75 at the mailing place but fedex from my home was $47!
