Alright, I am going to be shipping a tranny, drive shaft, rear diff, shift linkage, and axles alllllllllllllll the way to NY, which I am happy to do, but I just need some help doing so. Any of you out there that have shipped anything on the same level as this one will be, please let me know how you went about doing it and what might be the best way for me to get it taken care of. Thanks in advance.

definatly go with a courier service or a freight company

 

Any suggestions as to which and maybe some contact info? I would love you forever.....this is giving me kind of a headache with everything else I have going on...school, moms medical issues, etc. Thanks Zoeb.

 

yea, that stuff will have to be put in a crate...or two. Too bad your all the way in Salinas....Trans-PAK is a custom crating/courier service, and they are in the building next door to my work.

Edit: its www.transpak.com , but their website is not working

EDIT 2: My work also uses "G.I. Trucking" when we have to ship large shipments somewhere.

 

Depends on what is near by you.

Fed-Ex freight is probably the way to go if you don't know of any near by your place.

call 866.393.4585...thats the # to fedex ground freight.

 

The tranny, etc. is actually here in Novato, in the North Bay...so at least its a little closer to the bigger cities. Im thinking Fed-Ex ground freight might be the way to go.

 

get those 30 gallon containers from rubbermaid at walmart or something.

the guy who works on my truck, ships trannies and transfer cases by them...

 

jesus. way to project the wrong Idea. And to think I was all excited clicking this link that it would involve me and a trunkfull of ya-yo. bastards.

 

hahaha...seriously

 

yes fedex freight will and can deliver but you'll have to call for a price quote at 1.800.845.4647

only thing is you'll have to make sure they are ready for delivery meaning they must be crated and put on a pallet.
!!!!!at the very least make sure they are secured to a GOOD pallet!!!!

edgar,

 

yea, if you dont ^ that guy ^ is gonna be handling your insurance claim

 

eh i sure hope not! haha

edgar,
if you need any help pm me tomorrow and i can get you any info you need ASAP!

 

Fedex have pretty good service, but just to be sure they have the lowest quote, here are other freight companies to compare quotes with

https://www.con-way.com/
http://www.dylt.com/
http://www.motorcargo.com/

and like zumnwrx, make sure you have all the stuff on the pallet wrap and ready to go. And if you don't have a forklift to put the pallet on the truck, you better tell them that too.
