Hi. Would anyone be going to the Hershey meet that would be willing to bring some parts from Alamada, CA? Thanks, Dave
Hi Dave,
I’m not going to Hershey, but if the parts are large, you might try Fastenal to deliver them to a close-by Fastenal store. I shipped a rear end hub-to-hub assembly from CA to GA for only $150.
Cheers,
Bob
Really?!! Never would have thought. Thank you very much, Bob. Take care, Dave
Dave,
I received that axle in GA and it was a relatively painless process. Bob had to get the axle on a pallet to a local Fastenal store, which was the hard part, and it has to be picked up at the destination store.
Fastenal has what they call Third Party Logistics. That is basically the trucking division that gets all the items distributed to the, I believe it is 1500, stores. Just make sure the two locations can handle the weight, as not all have pallet jacks and unloading docks. The cost seems dependent on area more than weight. I was just quoted $150 to ship a 350 # Buick V* form the Dakotas to Atlanta.
That axle is now rebuilt and under my 836.

Forgot,
You can pay the freight at either end so that makes it easier on the person shipping to you if it is a sale. I just bought a crankshaft in Fresno and I will let you know what it costs to get it Atlanta.

Ok, I just submitted a request for the Fresno to Norcross, (Atlanta) GA crankshaft shipment. To make it easy, you need to have the zip code from where it is shipping and the local pickup store’s code. For example, Norcross is GAATA which you get from Fastenal’s store locator on their website. You also need to know the weight and dimensions.
