[AT] Shipping Small Engines?

[John Hall]

Just a couple notes on shipping that I have observed over the years.

Fed-Ex and UPS now have freight trucks. Fed-ex is due to deliver 7500 lbs to 
us at work tomorrow.

Motor freight's price is dependent on what you are shipping. It doesn't just 
matter the size and weight but also what it is. I work in a machine shop and 
we pay far more to ship out completed parts than for the incoming raw 
material used to make them. Hang on to your wallet if you are shipping out a 
completed piece of machinerey.

Be careful if the box you ship in has hazardous markings for what was 
originally shipped in it. We sent a package next day air to Canada only to 
have it turned around at the border due to they thought it was something 
hazardous. We simply repackaged it and sent it back. Unfortunately we had a 
couple of guys waiting on the parts inside--they had to spend a couple extra 
days.
