[bmoparmofo]

Try www.a1express.com , they shipped it throug fed ex freight and the guy I bought it from had it on a pallet and dropped it off at one of their terminals, hope it helps!

[Nacho-RT74]

that's the LTL company ?

[Nacho-RT74]

email sent to A1express... lets hope for good.

I had a mostly complete 383 engine shipped to me it weighed 612 lbs. it went from Kansas to Michigan, it was an LTL carrier and it only cost me 118.96 , let me know if you want the contact info for the broker that set it up, not sure if it wa sa fluke but it went well!!

So your the one that got that motor a couple months ago.....I just missed it.

still no answer. Tried the on line quote service and when I did run the specs told me NO CARRIERS FOUND AT THAT LOCATION... or kinda off

Nacho, I saw your post on the moparts board. Don't you love the way they manage to turn it into a political thread and tell you how Venezuela sucks and you should pack your bags and leave. That's one of the reasons i don't post there anymore.

Oh jeez... now his threads going to get locked or deleted.   

[Nacho-RT74]

yeah noticed... just got focussed on my needs and then will check if I still keep on that board...

Right now got TWO probably members able to provide some kind of help at that board... lets hope then.

The guy at the UPS hub North of town here says no problem. as long as the combined height, width and depth of the package is less than 150". For example: 90" wide + 40" high + 6" deep = 136"= NO PROBLEM.

[Nacho-RT74]

ok... measures are 90"x42"x12" so would it be 90+42+12= 144

but How much ? can you ask directly ? from Lapel In 46051 to Miami Fl 33172. weight PROBABLY around 80lbs

( you don't want to heard what on line quote gave me on UPS website )

[Nacho-RT74]

was checking UPS website and seems it offers LTL freight shippment... but does look need an account... Ken, are you able to ask about ?

[kab69440]

The only way I can get you a "set in stone" quote is to walk in with the package ready to ship. They will weigh it, measure it and then give an estimate. But, I thought you might want to know that they WILL take it.

[Nacho-RT74]

damn... checked UPS and Fedex websites, looking for LTL rates... between 200 and 350 as dukeboy stated

[Nacho-RT74]

yes... look I'll ned to be assisted By dukeboy on this. There is no other solution. I wanted to bother to less ppl as posible. Does look at Moparts board there is somebody from Florida that will travel to IN to pick some stuff he has at family's home close to Muncie and will be able to give a ride to my quarter up to Miami, but that would it be by the end of the year.

[Nacho-RT74]

Dunno what is happening but have heard NOTHING from seller since wednesday. Called by phone last night and only got answering machine

[dukeboy_318]

Okay, Nacho, glad to help.  I've got an idea, do you have his address by chance?

[Nacho-RT74]

will send you an email

Editing... Done!!!

[68charger383]

Did not make it through the whole thread, but sometimes the auto transport carriers will take parts/motors etc., you can try one of those companies or brokers.

[Nacho-RT74]

I'm on that. but I'm not In USA to be sure about all the posibilities

Damn I feel like Gollum with this quarter

MY PRECIOOOOUUS!!!!!!!

[Troy]

Nacho, I'm about two hours away but I need to make a trip to Indianapolis very soon. The place I work ships truck freight all the time - this would be small compared to most of what we ship. I need to make another trip to Alabama soon as well so I could drive it half way there OR I may make it to the Garlits show again this year so maybe someone could pick it up in Florida? That's not until November though.

If you need someone to knock on his door and tell him to answer the phone then I'm up for that too.

Troy

[Nacho-RT74]

Really appreciatte that... I'll keep in mind since dunno how much time will take this. By the moments finally the seller sent me an email afew minutes ago. I decided that dukeboy pick it up and storage at his place in Seymour what does look is about 1 hour  from Indianapolis

Preffer work with ppl of the board instead some ebay seller keep it just there since I know I can get a constant feedback in here.

A buddy from Moparts who lives in Florida told me just in case, he has to travel to Indiana to his parents' home to pick up a Dana axle and he could give a ride to the quarter up to Miami, but that won't be very soon.

If you can get me a shipper will be great too. By now does look the cheaper solution is A1express that APARENTLY would charge around $150, talking just about aprox measurements and weight. A friend of mine called and she told me that should be drop it on Fedex of Alexandria and the a1Express would pick it up. Maybe dukeboy would be able to drop it there and make the contact. Maybe Greyhound is still a solution.

My internatrional shipper in Miami is suposelly trying to get me another solution too.

Still nothing is defined beside dukeboy told me he would be able to pick it up for a while I found the definitelly way. Already provided the address and phone to dukeboy. He also gave me his personal info...

Thanks, and THE SAGA CONTINUES, LOL

[dukeboy_318]

Working on it,  I'll try to pick it up while i'm in Indy on Wednesday.  Wish me luck. 

[Nacho-RT74]

Seller just sent me an ebay message:

Nacho, I have to run some stuff to Alex. tomorrow & there is a freight company close by ( D&L )I will take panel & see what they say. Dave

I told him that if he don't get another solution until wednesday then you probably would pick it up at wednesday afternoon.

[dukeboy_318]

keep me posted, it'd would be after 8 pm local time before I can get it from him.  If he's running to Alexandria, there is a fedex deopt there as well.  Let me know, i'll do everything that I can to help.
