I shipped 2 vehicles using USPS Priority Mail (AZ to NY) for $10.55 + Delivery Confirmation. USPS also provides FREE boxes for Priority Mail - ask for BOX #7 which is 12" x 12" x 8" and fits 2 vehicles perfectly. If you have a bigger box than that, you will have to pad more than needed and also makes it heavier. The 2 vehicles + box + light packing paper/bubble weigh just about 3 lbs total and depending on where you are sending from/to (zones) could cost from $5.05 (local) to $10.55 (zone 8). Saves a few bucks. I've always been one of the lowest shippers on eBay, maybe I'll share some more of my USPS "trick" here.
