Weirfan The request to have it shipped as a gift is typically accommodated by folks here and was on FGI.

pitiful and disgusting.

even more that people "liked" the comment.

Giving complete evidence that one is without any shred of honor, integrity, or pride in civic duty .... all to save a few $ on equipment for a hobby for those with significant disposable income .

    That's exactly the type of comment that would be made by the type of pitifully-defeated clown who would also have the mentality to "like"- endorse a comment that is recommending conspiratorial falsification fraud of customs forms and cheating the system. I'm guessing a combination of privilege and a lifetime of managed failing upward is what contributes to it ?

      Encouraging people you disagree with to kill themselves, intentionally posting false and misleading information, and endorsing/promoting criminal fraud activities.

      Truly the signs of a good person of high moral character .

      Sorry, don't think I'll be taking your advice.

        according to pirate ship, this week I have saved 89.92 vs retail sticker price on USPS and 45.23 on UPS

        yes!

        I got an email from PirateShip last week telling me that I overpaid for a shipment and got a credit to my account. I love these guys.

        I shipped a package Wisco to Cali, did what I normally do to get an idea....went to Pirateship to get the quote $13.xx, 2# 46x4x4. Went to PP/ship station and it was $11.xx! 🤔😉😎

          ode Taking 5 boxes to UPS in a few minutes. Shipped through ShipStation because they were all cheaper than PS quotes last night!! 1st time that has happened.

              Par4QC hopefully it's not a case of ship station being slow to update their rates!

                  ode Possibly. I wasn't all that concerned as most were going close by and the rates are sometimes very similar. All were just 2#. The 10# boxes do have a big diff to everywhere.

                  I'll check again tomorrow when I do 5 more.

                    Anybody having issues with this site. It's been sketchy as hell for me the past few days. Sold a driver, 3lb @ 48x7x7. No option to add extra insurance, that I can see and I've got 3 different prices in 3 different tries, within minutes of each other and if I go through PayPal, it's even more.

                    WTF IS GOING ON???

                      I used them last week with no issues.......weird.

                      Maybe the guy that owns the site wears Crocs…

                        LBlack14 no idea......? Is it a driver with adapter where you could remove shaft for shipping and reduce the length of box? That's my only input on this. I only use pirate ship to get an idea of a rate quote, that's it, otherwise I use PP ship station for everything

                            ode already done, it's 44". Only box I have to fit shaft and head is 48". My thing is the site's jumping around, info I typed in disappears and even getting some error message. Also, I've typed the information in three times and got three different prices. Like I said all within a few minutes of each other. Ship stations the highest priced with all services.

                                Got 'er done, UPS. Original price + $200 insurance from Me to Burgess Va. was $19.84. I reckon it could be worse.

                                LBlack14 for me SS and PS are always the same price for the same service, but SS does not offer everything PS does......there is some UPS service , forget what it's called but the equivalent of USPS ground (NOT surepost or smart post) that is only on PS....I think it's called ground saver🤔....small boxes cheaper, long boxes not.
