rivgs Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Any ideas on cost to ship to Minnesota? Thank you, Kevin
RI87 Posted July 17, 2006 Author Posted July 17, 2006 I went on the UPS website to try to get some rough estimates for a ball park, but I'm not sure how accurate it is without an actual zip code (MN is a big state). Generally speaking it seems pretty steep: (including insurance and fuel surcharges they are listing) the rim and centers wind up in the ~$40-50 range to ship, the headers and climate boxes are ~$30-40, and the trim parts wind up oversize+2 due to dimensions - length of the door and rocker panel ones and height of the wheel openings - and would be around $80-100. I havent mailed much in the past year or so, seems high to me, but with the gas prices maybe its right?
rivgs Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Oh wow,I haven't used UPS much lately either. What I realy want are the center caps and the wheel anyways, how much for them ? At least the shipping will be a little easier. My zip is 55122. Thanks Kevin
Carbuff2 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Hi There, Just a thought .... Greyhound ships large and heavy packages reasonably and very quickly. You may want to check with them. The down side is that you must ship from the Greyhound bus depot and pickup at the destination bus depot. They have a web site I believe is Greyhound Freight or Shippng. Paul Fresno, CA
jj5794 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 In addition to the above, it has been my experience that FEDEX is less expensive then UPS, particularly for larger and heavier parcels. Good luck!
RI87 Posted July 23, 2006 Author Posted July 23, 2006 Hi, I wanted to actually weigh out the rim and caps before posting anything up again, took a little longer than expected though and I wasnt able to get out to the garage until yesterday and pick up the parts. If you were still interested though the best price I could do would be to sell the 4 center caps and the extra rim shipped in one box insured with confirmation (requires signature so they wont just leave the box in the rain for stuff to get wet) to the zip code you posted for $240. Let me know what you think.
rivgs Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Sounds good, Pease email me off list so I can get payment to you gmebody@comcast.net Kevin
rivgs Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 R187, I did not get an email from you, is there a problem? Kevin

rivgs Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 r187, I have a friend interested in the exhaust manifolds, but we need to hear from you.
MOcarGuy Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 I think you have your customers mixed up. My request was for, wheel house molding and bumper partsThanks MOcarGuy@aol.com
rivgs Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 R187, Are you out there? I would like an answer please.
rivgs Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 It looks like R187 will not respond, I guess it is better to find out you're dealing with a flake this way then have money involved.
