Shipping?
I have a grill on e-bay for sale, the shipping for it to California from Florida is 127.00! Is this correct? Seems very pricey to me. What do you do?

zoomy just sent one to me , from wisconsin to illinois , parcel post , thats the cheapest , its not expensive because of the weight its the size , from wisconsin to illinois was 46.00 bucks , so california to florida at 127 is probably as cheap as youre gonna find

UPS has come out with some new oversize pricing catagories. I do not ship UPS so I am unshure what they call them. I think it had something to do with accepting larger packages to ship regular ground. It use to cost me $45.00 for my supplier to ship me a fender from coast to coast and now it is about $135.00. It is getting to the point where it will be cheaper to send stuff on a semi truck!!! Try greyhound.... They are much cheaper... WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

I just shipped a grill for $21 through Fedex. The trick is to get the box as small as you possibly can. A difference of 1 inch can mean $100 more in shipping.

Hey WES...
If my memory remains true...Didn't I see a brand new white trailer that was located somewhere around your place of business. Do I see a new business? WES'S Shippng? Your slogan can be: "I don't care about losses...I make it up in volume" What do you think? A double income? More money to spend? Hey...I'm just trying to help you inrease the Empire of WES? HeHeHe I think maybe I need a vacation?

I just shipped a complete 72 Inner and Outer grill from CA to TX for about $35 on FedEx. They're trying to get more of the ground shipping market so their rates much better than UPS right now.
