im sure a few of you guys have dealt with this in the past, i need some help...

a guy in AZ wants my bottom end but well, im in NY so i cant exactly deliver it ... just wondered what company you would recommend shipping it through and how i should package it to keep it safe? also about how much would you estimate it weighs? complete b18c5 bottom end only...

TIA

 

DATS Trucking?

 

Put it in a crate maybe?

 

they dont work in the N/E but thanks for the suggestion :happysad:

 

strap it to a crate. use some good straps. airborn express has cheap ground shipping.

 

slap on a "heavy" sticker and ship it.

 

don't forget the "do not tilt" sticker. h:

 

i was thinkin about maybe fabbin up a little crate around it - its on a flat skid right now... i think i can get away with cuttin that in half, leavin it on a tire on there and build a cage around it... but strappin it down is a good idea, i didnt think of that... ill check into airborn express ground shipping...

anybody else find it strange that "airborn express" ships ground?

 

haha yeah i bought a transmission off ebay, and it was shipped through them. when they told me it would be like 7 days, i was like "WTF!, what kinda plane they using??" then i realized it was ground shipped. :doh:

i think it was about $90 to ship the tranny, from FL to AZ. it weighed 110lbs.

 

the "do not fold" sounds more appropriate h:
