Usps Can Kiss My Azz - WarLocK - 06-21-2007
I always keep the mask boxes 12x12x9 when shipping usps priority... no problems at all. Like $10 max to ship. If I have a larger box, then I ship parcel post... unless the buyer wants to pay extra. Even parcel post only takes 5-6 days to get somewhere. For the most part prices haven't really increased much on avg sized mask boxes.

i agree warlock i shipped out 4 mask today priority in the normal size mask box and it was 18$ total....if i were you guys i would use a smaller box.a mask can take back its form....tommy

some masks are just to large to fit in a small boxes and its not really cool when someone pays you hundreds of dollars and they open a box and then have to spend the next 4 days reshaping the neck of a mask, cuz it was smashed in a box to small.... fedex and ups and good alternitives. or just standerd parcel post.... id rather wait a few extra days then have a smashed mask

I was actually surprised yesterday when I shipped through USPS priority wuth delivery confirmation and it was only $16.I mailed a very large bust out to Peter Murphy in Cali...it is Howard S Spiderman bust and those familiar with it know its a full sized bust. Is sculpted all the way down to the spider on the chest...box was huge and was expecting to get railed by the clerk but only $16...not sure why so cheap

Responding to my own post here...Mine was so cheap because it was going from Denver to Cali which isnt too far...I guess when doing deals now in this habby we will have to consider where a potential buyer is in the country

i wouldnt want a rare old mask smushed up in a small box just u get your prices like anything the larger boxes id got to ups and smaller usps.

the clerk must have forgot to enter in the deminisons of the box... that happened to me twice... they told me the price which was 13 dollars and then typed in the measurements and it bumped the price up a good 10 dollars because on an extra inch and a half lol.

I shipped a SPFX old man mask with the foam display head a few weeks back and it cost about 30 bucks with DC# WITHOUT insurance. I was looking at the screen and the subtotal came up to 15 bucks....then she entered in the dimensions of the box...WOW, big difference. I'll probably keep using them though, never had a problem out of them and the closest UPS or Fedex is about 30-40 minutes away from me. I suppose I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it.

The box came to like 13 bucks then it asked for the box dimensions and the price jumped to 34......and I simply will not cram a mask into a small box. I dont like to get them that way so I refuse to pack them that way.......................................Larry
