small items and boxes usps.com, ups.com, fedex.com, bigger items goto freightquote.com and they get all the quotes from local truck companies for you.
If shipping wheels or wheels and tires I haven't found anyone that can touch FedEx Ground.

Thanks,I was wondering about getting weights,too.I see people coming right back with quotes,but how are they weighing so fast?What kind of scale would I use for big stuff?I have a`95 tilt column to ship,for instance.

I use a basic bathroom floor model. I weigh myself, then again with the part in my hands. Subtract the two, and I have a good base line to work with.
DHL is also shipping parts real cheap! Don't forget about Greyhound freight service!! I always have the part packaged the way I intend to sent, because box size and total weight make a difference. Last edited by dtlilly; 04-21-2005 at 03:45 PM. |

I use a postal scale for light weight items (under 3 lbs) I found one at Walmart for $20. For larger items, I bought a digital bathroom scale that goes up to 300lbs Always add on for the box and packaging as mentioned.
I also have a cheapy hanging fishing scale but not terribly accurate.

Thanks,all.Never had a bathroom scale.Might help my wife watch her weight,too(that way,maybe she won`t ask that "lose-lose" question).
