turboHLS30 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hi all, I'm selling an engine and I've had a couple people ask me to ship it. Problem is I've never shipped an an engine before. Can someone help me figure the whole process of shipping it? P.S. Sorry for such a n00bie post Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter72 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I would get in touch with a couple of companies and find out how much they charge, to pack it and ship it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theramz Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I just shipped an L6 I sold on ebay. I have had some bad experiences from people not securing the item properly and receiving it damaged. The heavy stuff is usually put on different trucks with forklifts. I made an angle iron frame that bolted to the engine and through a wood pallet. I then shrink wrapped it. = happy customer. Try freightquote.com they can send a truck with a lift gate. Make sure you get insurance! btw the total weight was 425 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
