    I'm pretty sure all saws sent by USPS cost the same as long as their within the us? Everything I send on ebay through USPS is the same price weather I send it next town over or too Hawaii. And I have sent the same item to both places. Never sent a saw out but as far as things I can tell it should be the same in the continental US but some y'all ship saws WAY more than I.

    USPS shipping charges are calculated from three variables, from and to zip code, size of the box LxWxD and weight. I ship a lot of saws and can tell you there is a difference in shipping costs depending on those things as well as method e.g. parcel post is always cheaper than priority 2 -day but can also take up to 10-14 business days to arrive. Ins and tracking are extra. I can tell you shipping the same saw to MA or SC where you are would cost a different amount.

    Same package to Charleston, SC is $47.65 to Boston, MA is $32.85 from my location (NY, 14609) not including charges for ins and tracking and this is 2-day a $14.80 cent difference.

    I agree 100% with this..as I ship alot of stuff all over . Only flat rate boxes have a fixed price . Nothing I collect or sell fits in those darn boxes though....EVER :( Its a shame how much money it costs to ship these days . It cost less than driving the packages around in person though !!!

    Pardon me, but what on earth is a HoneyFuzz? I'll go first, I like beer, I especially like Killians Irish Red, My cat Leo is red, therefore KilliansRedLeo

    If you remove dogs and chip guard from clutch covers, they sometimes fit in the small box.

    Wasnt asked and no one probably cares but my name is not Clem like some people have assumed. I went to Clemson university and I am a forester. So I shortened that to "for" , which is also the college class prefix for the major at the university. So your classes were like for101 on your schedule when they were printed out.

    I bought a saw from Bob. Shipped fast. Top notch guy too. I don't know what shipping cost was but all I will say is that the as shipped cost made me smile.

    Likewise, spike60 treated me well when I bought my only brand new saw. Excellent price including shipping. Seeing as though a 346xp is gold, value probably doubled in the 5 years since I bought :D

    I'm looking forward to seeing Bob in a couple weeks at a local G2G. His shop is about an hour north of me and I had a great time at his G2G last fall.

    I've actually had some luck shipping chain loops out in a SMFRB. Can't leave them in their boxes but I can get 4+ loops plus the flattened boxes and leaflets in one small box and ship it anywhere for $5.

    Maybe ;)

    I'm not a fan of grey paint for over $200 more. If you buy from a dealer direct? It's only $100 difference between the 555 and 562xp.

    If through a reputable dealer that you can order from on this site or another? (Tlandrum or Spike60), that price difference is about $200.
