Poundz9oh9 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hey guys, I have a fiberglass cowled hood that I need to ship out and I was just looking up quotes and was kinda surprised at what I found. UPS will take it for $107 (ish), FedEx won't ground ship it unless I go FedEx freight , and they want $228 (ish), and the USPS won't take it. Has anybody ever shipped a hood before, and how did you go about doing it? These shipping quotes seem kinda high, is that what I should expect?? TIA!!

Tim240z Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Go through the yellow pages and try some of the trucking companies.... Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Zone Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Used Air cargo in the past but since 911 you need to have a special account to use them. They were very reasonable and very fast but both sender and receiver had to go to the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poundz9oh9 Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 Well going to the airport wouldn't be a problem, but it seems that all these blood sucking trucking and freight companies want your first born AND the kitchen sink to ship 30lbs (ish) worth of stuff just because the dimensions are big. Anyway, it seems like UPS was the best way to go compared to the local companies here. Thanks again guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
