If you have the original box... group 4 of them together, either inside of a medium sized moving box from lowes/home depot/uhaul.  Or just tape the boxes together in an OCD fashion that makes them feel like 1 box. 

We ship these things via UPS ground - and with an account -- not the overpriced ups store rate --- you can normally ship them pretty cheap.  50lbs coast to coast is typically 25$ or $30. 

Thank you!

Also, yes I have all the original boxes and know where I can find a bigger box or two to fit them in. Thanks!

You want to bundle them 4 or so together.  Just shipped a 61lb box (25x17x14) for $25 east coast to east coast.  Anyone can get a decent UPS discount by creating an account and linking it to ebay.

lowes/home depot/uhaul boxes -- medium is 18x18x16 and large is 18x18x24.  Just an FYI... the medium is going to go dimensional weight of at least 32lbs, large is closer to 49lbs i think.   So plop those puppies inside and weigh it up.  or just tape 4 together in a cube.

Based on my recent research on shipping S1's, two will not fit inside a USPS Priority Flat Rate Box.

Inside of the Box Dimensions are: 12" x 12" x 5-1/2"
Antmain S1 Dimensions are: 5.315" x 6.102" x 11.81"

Hope this helps  Smiley

Yes, but if I hit the AntMiner with a hammer a few times... it should work eventually?

potential buyers, don't read this.

I've found FedEx Ground most economical for them.
However, there's really no way to send them coast-to-coast at a reasonable price.

Looking to ship, safely, a number of S1's. Has anyone shipped or received one lately that can share cost / tips?

Would two fit in a Large Flat Rate Priority box from USPS? My geometry stinks, sorry because that's a super easy question for some. Just want to make sure the seller receives them safely and economically.

thanks all!
