niteCLONA ... some very interesting and valid observations
But how many PLASTIC PARTS have you shipped ? And how many RATING NUMBERS have you used ?
In a situation like this .... PAY for the shipping UP FRONT so they can’t UP AND EXTRA you !
Call a few of them on Monday......
ALSO .... call an airline.... the air freight terminal... just as a comparison.....
How well is the hood crated ? Are the corners WELL PROTECTED?
I ship quite a lot yearly, repro Aero fiberglass and repro Aero steel body panels, nosecones, wings, E body GC/SE headliners, B body rear window louvers, etc coast to coast in the US, Canada, and overseas to Europe, SE Asia, England, Australia, Japan, etc.....I always pay freight up front, and I'm always looking for discounted freight carriers/exporters that I can rely on.... about the only carrier to "UP AND EXTRA YOU" after it's shipped/quoted/payed (the shipping party) prepaid or not, is FedEx with Canadian/Overseas fees....
