thanks for passing the info along. hopefully their prices remain low

I've shipped a few 4 speed transmissions through them and they arrived safely for about $70
I wouldn't hesitate to ship an engine through them

Fastenal has offered Blue Line Freight for many years. There is no name change, as you’re implying.

Really? They used to be called 3PL when I shipped with them a few years ago...

Fastenal use to offer coast to coast shipping with their own subsidy trucking Blue Line freight, they stop offering nation wise shipping several years ago why I do not know
they were very reasonable and delivered to their store nearest you to pick up in a decent amount of time
No overnight or two day shipping but they were a lot cheaper than Fed Ex Ground and UPS Ground
Not all changes are good for every one

Every time I got a quote from Fastenal is was higher than FedEx, everything had to be in a wood crate and they didn't provide insurance so I never used them. Guess they gave everyone else better rates than me.

Maybe not “several years”....Rather, it started in 2019.

Does it have to strictly be a “wood” box on a pallet?

Can you use one of those large “Tuff Box” plastic toolboxes, or similar,
and strap or shrink wrap that to a wooden pallet?

The fiberglass Dart hood I shipped through them was in a huge cardboard box and strapped to a pallet they provided when I got there...

I packaged a 4-speed in a super heavy duty cardboard box and strapped it to a pallet

Maybe I'll try them again. Its been a while. They are right around the corner from my yard.
