Hi Mark,
When I listed these components, I used the eBay "shipping wizard" to produce the shipping cost. I too, was surprised at the apparent high cost. Perhaps UPS is not the proper company to use to ship. I live 4 miles from town and USP will come to my home. If I use someone else, like USPS, I have to go to town, I believe. I am not trying to make money on shipping, and would appreciate suggestions on how to use eBay for shipping in an efficient and quick way to handle 54 items!!!!!!! Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Perhaps, I should go thru my listing and just use my intuition as to the correct shipping cost thru USPS. Pauli Paul Wilson 26077 Arjuna Avenue, Temecula, California 92590, USA http://www.wilsondesigns.net 951-587-3632
