Married couple Scott and Susan Bawcom are the two stars of the reality television series Shipping Wars on A&E Network and they have a combined net worth of $500 thousand. They have built their fortune through their independent shipping business which was featured on the television show.

Before Scott entered the shipping business, he was a member of the Marines and worked at diffusing mines in Iraq. When they had started the business, Susan was the companion for her husband as they shipped from coast to coast. She is responsible with the bidding and bookkeeping in their business.

The Bawcoms earn their living by shipping unusual items in several locations. These include items that are too large, unwieldy, or dangerous to be shipped using the traditional method. Their son, Josh, handles the accounts while Ashley is responsible for customer service. Together, they have managed to form one of the most successful and lucrative independent shipping business in the country. With their participation in the reality TV show, the business is sure to grow with the publicity that it got.
