Both times were to members here on moparts, and everything went fine except one delivery. Where I was told to send it to denied the shipment because he forgot to tell them it was coming.

Be prepared to pack and prepare your engine, parts, or other items to at least your own satisfaction to avoid damage. A 400lb engine can go almost anywhere in the country for a couple hundred bucks.....but you need to put the time into packing it properly. Also, be prepared for the need to properly insure it if it is a high value piece. Mopar guys get a bigger discount. We intentionally lose Chevy parts whenever we get a chance.

There is a lot of money tied up in shipping if the deal falls through because of a bad check, or credit card scams. Then it costs you to get it sent back too. Happened to a buddy of mine.
