Recommendations for a shipper


Good morning,

For those who have used a shipper i need advice. I need a shipper to pick up and crate and ship from the west coast to the east coast freight. Probably, a box a little less in size than a cubic yard ,and 100 lbs in weight. Any experience ,and perhaps idea of costs involved would be great.

thanks in advance!

You have to do your own homework.

UPS, FedEx , DHL …. they are all in the same pricepoint with a comparable price. Go to their respective websites to get an online quote .

Delivery dates are also a major quote driver, and not just the usual distance, packaging size & packaging weight,

You will need supplemental loss/damage insurance coverage, and adult signature required terms, which will tack on additional shipment charges .

For something of the size and weight you’ve highlighted, be prepared for a sticker shock; or even progressing up to a hefty kick in the cojones depending on variable terms above.

My fave: FEDEX

“… I need a shipper to pick up and crate and ship from the west coast to the east coast freight….”

“…thank you but i need someone to come and pick up. Its a local sale only…”

 

im confused by your two contrasting posts highlighted above.
 

The physical logistics are the same.  All of the shippers can AND will pick it up at your  house if you select that logistics  option online,. They will then ship it cross town or across the country….The only difference is price .
