I've had a couple people ask how much shipping would be on the moc mcc I have for trade/sale. I've never shipped anything this big. Any thoughts?

Media mail. Tell 'em its a buncha DVDs. Itll take 2 weeks, but will cost about $8.

Go with UPS or FedEx. The USPS has adjusted their pricing to the point anything larger than 1' cubed gets hit with huge size surcharges.

I would suggest using Fed Ex or UPS. I hardly ever ship anything larger that 1'x1'x'1 through USPS anymore, I always use Fed Ex for anything larger now, its cheaper and its insured up to $100.

I just shipped one about a month ago. One of those Bissell Steam Cleaner boxes is just about a perfect fit for it. It will be about 23 pounds all together though, and still wasn't horrible to ship. It even fit the size restrictions to go to Canada.
