I've shipped an 833 iron transmission with UPS about 15 years ago. It weighed 135 pounds and I think I charged $150 to make a crate and ship it. I shipped another one with Fastenal and just strapped it to a pallet and it only cost me about $60 I have heard Fastenal recently raised their rates though. Gus

If you haven't shipped anything using UPS or FedEx recently, be prepared for some BIG price increases...

I shipped a '906 last year via UPS No problem with it... It's not that they can't do it. It's that the cost to do it has increased dramatically over the last couple of years. I bought a pair of tires from a guy early this year and he only lives about a 4-hour drive away (Northern VA to western PA). When we talked price, we both estimated it was gonna be maybe $25-30 each to ship them. Turns out t it was well over $100 for the pair, basically double what we'd expected.

I've used Fed Ex Ground, UPS, Greyhound bus and Fed Ex Freight for car parts including sending a driver side door for a 1965 Dart 270 two door hardtop in a windshield box that I got for free from a local body shop I ship it to a guy up in Canada by Greyhound to a small town in either MI or IL, CRS. I used a bunch of small empty cardboard boxes I had to act as insulators in the box between the door and big box on both sides to keep it from moving around, that worked well Shop around to get the best rate and best shipping company
