Shipping Help!

Hey folks.

We're trying to get Keith's new fascia shipped to Columbus, OH (43001) from Madisonville, TX (77864).
What's jacking us up are the dimensions:
80" x 22" x 28"
The entire package only weighs 25 lbs.!!!

FedEx = No.
UPS = No.
DHL = No.
Fed Ex Freight = ??? (offices open in the AM)

Counter-to-counter is out due to dimensions.
Cargo isn't an option either because the business is no where near any major airport for it to be dropped off.

If anyone has any suggestions regarding how to get the fascia shipped, please post or PM.

THANKS!

 

USPS won't ship it?

 

When I entered the dimensions, I received:
"Invalid or no dimensional element given. Value must be a numeric."

It's bad when they don't even recognize 80 as a number. :grin:

 

you tried freight through dhl? i would call them....thats how i got my new fascia.

 

yeah, just dont do the online way, it always messes up on the large items. call them.

 

DHL "Freight" only does large shipments (full trucks or full containers).

The problem arose when the fascia was ordered through a re-seller. Though the site states "$175 shipping to a business", it magically became "$279" when ordered.
(no...I'm not kidding....$175 to ship a 25 lb. box)


I don't think USPS will touch 80", no matter the weight.

 

bump

 

You try Greyhound?

 

Good call!
But I think the 80" thing will also be a problem with them.

 

im sorry, again, did you call them? or did you just try to get a quote online?

once again, when i messed up my second front end, i had one ship to me from texas through dhl.

 

Eh....Won't know until you ask. I've heard they ship hoods.

 

where in Madisonville is it I can help maybe

 

Buzz me @ work...bdspackaging.com, PM'd you the office #

 

Kevan and Keith I just talked to Art (the actual guy who is shipping the part) call him he is a good guy and can help figure this out. 800-530-5337-ask for Parts then ask for Art

 

Art is taking care of me he got it for around $155

 

Keith called DHL yesterday.
The answer they gave: "No.".

We'll try it next time.
I don't think a hood reaches the 80" mark though.

Thanks everyone for your help!
Hopefully this thread is informative for others shipping the large stuff.

 

hmm, im wondering if they said no because you were too far for a pickup, or the site wasnt able to accommodate such a large item.

 

OR skip the middle man and buy direct:whistle: Just saying you know thats all

 

It was Arts guy that told me $280ish yesterday. then Art was here today and took care of me
