The Stovebolt Site Forums Swap Meet Hauling Board LTL Freight Shipping?

Hey all,

I have someone interested in purchasing some somewhat heavy and bulky truck parts. The parts are going from NC to CA. I have sent and recieved several similar shipments through Fastenal and they do a relatively good job. Unfortunately Fastenal still doesnt ship to CA. Any suggestions? I can palletize and or crate and get to a shipping terminal on my end.

I have used Span Alaska for shipping from the lower 48 to Alaska, with good results. They do ship nationally thru affiliates. Might be worth contacting them for a quote.

Also found this site which might help you out.

Thanks Kevin, I will check out your leads. Folks often freak out when shipping charges exceed the part cost.

Yeah, you should try getting stuff to Alaska.
I ordered some tires ~$500 cost from an outfit in PA and they offered free shipping, but when they went into the shopping cart and I put in my address, they came up with $3000 to ship them to me in Alaska. I called and asked them what it REALLY cost to ship and they said $600 a tire and wouldn't back down from that. I told them I could fly down and pick them up and bring them home as baggage for that price. That's when I had them shipped for free to Span Alaska in WA, and they brought them here for $185 picked up at their Anchorage terminal. We get a lot of "OH we can only ship to Alaska by air"
