Shipping cost

[Gralmk]

Can some one help me with a ballpark figure for shipping AC parts. What would
be a guess fo sending 500lbs from CA to RI?

Just looking for a line on the best way to ship parts.

Thanks

If you go to the various trucking company websites (yellow, roadway,
fedex...) they
have a query page you can put in the details of your shipment and get the
price.

And for a quick answer, I shipped a big block Chevy motor, complete (
about 800 lbs. with pallet ), from So. Ca. to Chicago for $600. That
was by Roadway. I just estimated a big block Chevy long block to Maine,
$1000 by Roadway, $600 by Fedex Freight. By my experience with shipping
big stuff, Fedex seems to always have a better deal. I'm usually
shipping 50-70 lb. bicycles across the country, mostly by UPS or Fedex,
on a regular basis. Oh what fun, selling on eBay!

If you weren't already aware of the classification codes for shipping, it
doesn't really matter the weight as much as the item's classification. If
you mark it "avaiation" anything, watch the cost meter spin. Car engines
are the cheapest, next to textile looms. See what 150# of scrap aircraft
parts cost? There is a hint buried in this. RTL
