• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So I have shipped a few times now and recently I got a call from SYR asking if I wanted to be set up for my own reduced shipping rate? I declined because I should only be selling and shipping on a seasonal basis, but now I am starting to wonder if it would still help me out profit wise. Has anyone ever set one of these up? If so how much of a discount were/are you getting?
 
Interesting, I have sent quite a few packages and haven't heard anything. I did recently hear about this from a friend but thought you had to call them.

Yeah, I shipped two packages using coupon codes, a day after the second arrived at it's destination I got a call from them asking about the rate. I tried to look it up on their website but I did not find anything.
 
I was just set up to receive 40% off since I ship out lots of packages.

I initially had a 20% discount. With 40% I get a great rate. A 7x7x6 box with two lbs is only $46-48 $$ to ship to Cali overnight. I think it's worth it. I don't have to ship any specified amount of boxes.

SYR rocks for me!! Highly recommended !
 
I'm set up at 30% off of retail. If they offer I can't think of any reason not to take them up on it. I don't have a minimum to keep my rate.
 
SYR is fantastic. It can't hurt to send them an email with past shipment that you have had and request a lower rate for future shipments.
I like most people just pass the savings on to my customers.
