Shipping a secondhand Xpole
Hey folks,
I am thinking more and more about selling my 50mm chrome Xpole. It's in like new condition and I think it would make someone very happy. Obviously I'd love to sell it to a local person who can pick it up, but that may not be possible.
For those of you who've resold an Xpole and shipped it to the new owner (in the US), how did you ship it? I still have all the original packing materials, but I'm more interested in how you sent it.
Did you use a retail shipper like the UPS store or Kinkos? Did you call and get a freight quote? Xpole uses FedEx ground, but I'm sure they get a volume discount. If I am going to ask a prospective buyer to cover the shipping cost, I'd want to ship it as inexpensively as possible.
Thanks!

If you box it up and take it to a ups store, and let them weigh it for you, take the weight and dimensions back home and plug it into fedex, usps, and ups and see whats the cheapest rate. You can print a label at home and either drop it off at whatever courier you choose, or some will pick it up from you. I strapped all my stuff into the case, packed paper in and around everythiiiing, and put it in a big ol' box. I can't recall how much it was to ship from VA to GA but it wasn't horrible. Wasn't a happy number either though.

It was 44 bucks when I shipped mine. And I had an extra dome and extension piece.

I think the quote for someone in Cali put it up near 70.

Thanks for the info! Yeah, shipping on oversized/overweight items can be so expensive, I wanted to get an idea of how much it would be before I set my price. I'm going to ask around locally first to see if anyone is interested. I'd even be willing to deliver within a certain radius. Unfortunately the 50 is becoming a bit of a dinosaur, but there has to be someone who prefers it. Hopefully close by 🙂

I think there are still plenty who prefer 50s, and I think a lot of people on a budget will get a used 50 over shelling out for a new 45, especially if they're new and planning to maybe upgrade later or own more than one size. If I had had room for it, I would've kept my 50 and my 45.

Well, if you change your mind let me know, I have a 50 in excellent condition! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I am interested in buying this. I am in Oregon so would have to be shipped. Let me know what the price and shipping cost would be if you decide to go that route. Thanks!
