Oh, I understand that. Many businesses can get discounts providing they just about guarantee a certain volume, but I wonder how it works in this case? I mean, this ShipYourWhatever site is just a middle-man, and you know they are making some kind of profit, so the discounts must be pretty good to be worthwhile.

All in all, for the number of times I ship a large item (rare), it's just easier for me to ship it normally. If I was an online shop or something, it might make sense.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is a bad idea, I'm just wondering what the "catch" is...
