recently I got a z32 5-spd tranny, along w/ an aluminum driveshaft and some other miscellaneous hardware shipped ground from TX to CA. This is via DHL (frieght forwarding). Package was around 200lbs iirc they quoted me $200, but in the end it cost $258.

Package did get there on time (even a few days early), and in good condition though. DHL has been reliable to me and the co. I work for the most part.

This might be the worst case scenario for reference. If anyone knows cheaper, Id like to know too.

I have used Road Runner/Dawes Freight systems pricing is pretty damn good.

UPS tops out at 150lbs...

freightquote.com is an easy way for someone to ship something pallete freight. Go terminal to terminal. Unless you've got a corporate address and a way to load a semi. loading docks/forklift. Also you'll need to call and see what class USED transmission is. Should be class 85. Or atleast used engine is class 85.

DHL and put it in a plastic bin from wallmart is probably the best. or greyhound.

sub9lulu

measure the tranny, throw it in one of those 45+ gallon rubbermaid box you get from walmart, it shouldnt cost u more than $10
call DHL up and have them pick it up from your house
shouldnt cost you more than $150 to ship

Where in NC?
Where in TN?
Have you considered the cost of transportation to meet halfway?

Is that what It's suposed to cost?

Try UPS LTL freight or maybe have a freight company or two bid on the shipment. LTL is still pretty expensive based on weight and dimensions... But you may get lucky putting a freight bid out.

Put the stuff on as small of a pallet as possible & hope for the best- it isn't cheap though. Shipping my Z32 tranny LTL from Philly to St Louis was about $350... However, Zfever shipped my second one to me for $75 by putting the shipping cost up for bid. I have no idea how to do this myself... but Wolf's post above seems easy enough. Other than that- buy local as stated above

DHL Freight forwarding. Its available in all cities. I use this for most of my body kits shipped and people there know how to handle large/heavy items.

The range should be $300-400. The motor should be on a pallet and strapped down tightly. The fee should cover lift gate service, pallet jack service, pick up fee, residential drop off.

Funny how newbs either make threads without looking or they dig up 5 year old threads.. either way we get pissed off at them

Jtuned_andy

i would never trust some noob schmuck in NJ to know how to properly strap a motor down to a pallet let alone a transmission for safe shipping. if its too good to be true, well its is...

UPS' limit is 150lbs. And UPS also has a freight line as well

And just because the people where you work treat packages like shit, doesn't mean we all do.

Thanks for trying to make the company look good.(sarcasm)

I shipped my 4g63 trans to Cali through ups a few months back, wrapped the shit out of it in extra carpet and towels I had laying around in a huge rubber maid zip tied closed. it cost me around 80 and made it there with 0 complaints
