IrideA250R Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 I always find the UPS Stores or places like PostNet etc rip you off on shipping. if you have a UPS hub nearby, go there instead. Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 I shipped a pair of Haulers for $22 thru USPS, boxed them myself. Quote
Lepew Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 I always find the UPS Stores or places like PostNet etc rip you off on shipping. if you have a UPS hub nearby, go there instead. I think your right. I have had my best luck with Fedex for larger packages. I shipped a frame via Fedex considerably cheaper than UPS Quote
shanYE west Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 From MI to KS cost me 15.00 for tires and rims through UPS. Quote
Snopczynski Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 I just sold a set of Rear itp sandstars on egay. They sold for 80 and I asked for 30 for shipping. Big mistake!!!! It cost me 65 to ship two fucking tires without rims to TEXAS!!!!! So it would of been cheaper for me to keep them. Man did that ruin my day!! You have to go to the ups hub. It usually costs me $25 a tire with a rim there. Quote
csrmel Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 you dont need to shrink wrap tyres. just strap them together. they are fuckin tyres its not like they are going to get hurt of someone drops them. this is how tyrerack ships tyres. they just strap them together and stick a shipping label on the tread. no shrink wrap no boxes. but yeah you should use fedex ground. its cheap as fuck compared to ups or usps.

sheefreak Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 From MI to KS cost me 15.00 for tires and rims through UPS. Did you box them? Quote
shanYE west Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) Did you box them? yeah, They were boxed. But I ship them through my local dealer wich ships ups.. So I dont think they charge me the extra charges.. :shrug: Edited February 8, 2008 by Fouledout421 Quote
2bzy2p Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 ya that seems pricey but did you leave air in the tires?? I did once in a big box and it cost alot.Next set let all the air out and get the tire folded in the rim and find the smallest box you can..shipping will be waaaaaayyyyyyyy cheaper!! Quote
csrmel Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 as long as the package isnt oversize most shipping company do not charge extra for different size packages. like fedex for example, you can ship out a 24x24x24 box that weighs 15lbs for the same price as a 12x12x24 that weighs 15lbs.

2bzy2p Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 i havnet ever used fedex maybe I should thats a better deal..ups does off of measurements of boxs +weight..They break there little tape measure out right there!! at least they do when I take things into there little shipping store.LOL Quote
FadedDreams Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) I think that has alot to do with it too.I had the hardest time with the lady at the UPS place when i would ship my motor out to have work done.I did it 3 different times and each time she had a different excuse on why she didn't want to send it.I'd always have to talk with her superior and then everything would be ok.Was such a big hassle. i havnet ever used fedex maybe I should thats a better deal..ups does off of measurements of boxs +weight..They break there little tape measure out right there!! at least they do when I take things into there little shipping store.LOL Edited February 9, 2008 by FadedDreams Quote
flotek Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 UPS is your problem. that place is a fucking rip off. i can ship rear tires with wheels in them to anywhere in the US for about 25 bucks thru fedex all day long. i totally agree...... ups takes forever they dont run o n saturdays the prices are ridiculous usually ,they screw up locations worse than the the us post ofice ever does . i would not use them to ship a sparkplug Quote
MarineNYC Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Posted February 10, 2008 CHECK THIS OUT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO I BOUGHT ARMS AND SHOCKS. UPS SHIPPED IT THEY DID IT IN 2 BOXES. ONE THEY PUT 35 AND THE OTHER THEY PUT 135. MY ADD IS 135 SO AFTER A WEEK AND MY ARMS DIDNT SHOW UP I STARED TO RESEARCH IT. THEY SAID THAT THE DROPPED OF THE 35 ADDY ONE AT 35 . SO I WENT THERE. 35 DIDNT EVEN EXIST. AFTER RESEARCHING IT FURTHER I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY DROPPED OFF AT 36. THATS JUST NOT RIGHT. THEY DROPPED IT OFF AT THE WRONG ADDY. THATS JUST WRONG. IF ANYTHING IT SHOULD OF WENT BACK TO SENDER. 2 WEEKS LATER IT SHOWED UP AT MY FRONT DOOR. IT WAS OPENED AND HALF THE CONTENTS WERE NOT THERE. THEY GAVE ME 100 DOLLARS FOR IT. i SHOULD OF GOT AT LEAST 300. STILL FIGHTING WITH THEM Quote
colby72olds Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 damn that sucks....I was going to send a set of handle bars back to RMATV and it was going to be $25 through UPS and the handle bars were only $30. So I just sold them locally, wasn't worth the hassle. Quote
