RE: High shipping charges Why :(
I've looked at Greyhound.
For very large boxes it's not bad but there are some hassles involved.
For smaller stuff e.g. a .40 sized plane, there is not much of a difference.
All shipping services are announcing "updates" to their shipping charges, thanks to the high price of fuels. Ugh.
bahamadude: I believe you were involved in a similiar thread some time ago.
At that point it was well established that the shipping charges were right in line with everyone else.
If it's $30.00 to you in Nassau, you are getting a deal and a half in shipping! I suspect that the charge you are talking about is to the East coast of the U.S. which is still fairly good.
