    Just wonder on average what everyone spends a month or a year on shipping charges.

    I usually do around 3-4 trades a month. So 3-4 trades x $15-20 bucks per shipping so...





    $10.00 total a month (what the significant other is led to believe)

    Don't do this math. This math is bad.

    $40-$50 at this point. Gave up smoking so the extra money goes to trading now.

    3-4 trades a month. $30/box. $100-$150 a month on shipping is about right

    my god you mean they charge me for shipping? holy smokes i have just been sending this out from work...about 4 or so boxes a week for months....... oh boy......... :slight_frown:

    If ya gotta ask its probably not a good idea to do more than one or two a day :wink:
    but definitely no more than your pay check is a week :slight_smile:
    guess that's why they re not giving me a check anymore.... :slight_frown:

    $300/mo for a 5 month span, $15 this month so far. Acquisition rate went way too high versus consumption. I need to drink this shit down.

    I am contemplating only doing the west half of the country for future trades. I was averaging around 25-30 bucks per trade thanks to you east coasters.... Just sent a 22 lb box to Texas... 15 bucks. It was quite the breath of fresh air. But then again, that would really be stupid since I want all of your damn east coast beer!
