Re: shipping cylinder heads
Check both UPS and FedEx Ground. I have found where FE is cheaper going to some locations.

Re: shipping cylinder heads
Shipping several heads that would justify palletizing then try Fastenal.

Re: shipping cylinder heads
Get your own Federal Express account. It can be set up in 10 minutes.
Today I shipped a package from KY to NC, my discounted cost, $38.73 vs $53.78 if I had paid at the drop off at the FedEx store. |

Re: shipping cylinder heads
FYI...
I just recently sold some parts on eBay. Although the heaviest box was a little over sixteen pounds. Without exception every shipment was cheapest with USPS (United States Postal Service). These shipments all had tracking numbers provided. I was able to print the labels online and just drop them off at a local sorting facility close to my house. I was surprised and I still don't know if I would send my heads that way! I suppose if they are cast iron they might be too heavy, I don't know their maximum weight. Bill |
