Need shipping help with CF lip - Honda Prelude Forum

BlueLude1 · 07-26-2002, 01:28 PM

First of all i know this is gonna get moved.

But anyway i am trying to figure out how to ship these lips an i need some help. Fed Ex is tellin me that to ship this damn thing from Tx they can only do 3 day express an going to H22powerbatmobile in northern Cali its gonna cost $98 any suggestions ? Its cause the box is 70" long 32" wide an 5" tall an weighs 3lbs.

I just want one i dont care about the shipping, but thats probably the price you're gonna get from all the postage services.

try UPS?

Mabye try a bus company. It only cost me about 50cdn (35us) to get my cf hood shipped to me.

thats hella weird dane...i shipped a whole front kit that was bigger..weighed about 25 pounds all the way to chicago from where i am via UPS for 65 bucks...and i dont udnerstand why it must be 3 days

FedEx usally does fast shipping. Try UPS they will be cheaper because you can just get basic ground.

BlueLude1 · 07-26-2002, 05:17 PM

UPS isnt cheaper though cause they have an over size fee that they tack on unfortunatley .

Its rediculous even the people at fedex when i called sounded surprised when i told them the weigh an they told me the price

thats crazy... i had my WW RS Front lip shipped from Hawaii FedEx for $30-$50... the guy charged me $50 but i recall it was lower than that on the actual postage on the package itself... got ripped on shipping.

H22aPoweredBatMobile · 07-26-2002, 07:07 PM

when i shipped my kit the oversize fee was only 15 bucks....

H23Lude · 07-27-2002, 02:33 AM

hey BlueLude...where in texas are you located? I might be interested in buying a lip from you...and i can just pick it up. thanks!

dflipmode · 07-27-2002, 01:08 PM

you should really try ups though...its way cheaper because they specifically deal with oversize items...unlike fed ex...they deal with smaller and faster shipment...i worked for ups before so i know what they deal with....and it doesnt necessarily have to take 3days obviously...

don't use UPS or Fed Ex... gotta go with a trucking company... it'll be cheaper to businesses instead of homes

TurboFourLude · 07-28-2002, 04:22 PM

use UPS and wrap it in bubble wrapand stick stick of cardboard in between the ends....

Anybody know if it'll be cheaper to ship to military bases? It's worth a shot. As soon as you can get a price closer to 50 bucks, let us know. Also, are you charging 300 or 350 for the c/f lip? Thanks for the work you're putting in, Dane!

Peace,
Jason

Dane,
Have you had any more luck in finding a cheaper method of shipping the lip? I got some dough for you.
