We have an item that we make and sell that the freight is eating our lunch on.
Auction: 380020721244 -- Wooden Cabinet with Large Ice Chest -- Steer
Shipping size 35 x 21 x 37
Actual shipping weight 40#
It is over the USPS 130" limit and UPS and DHL because of its size rate it at 125#s
instead of the actual 40#s.
Shipping from Texas 76110 to Florida 32713
Does anyone have any suggestion on shipping this item?
Do what other furniture makers do; make it a knock-down kit.
