[Shop-talk] Shipper recommendation needed

[PJ McGarvey]

Had a T56 trans shipped to me using a service provided by Fastenal. It was the seller's choice, I think he had an account with them, but the only catch was I had to pick it up at a local Fastenal. It was crated, and they dropped it in the back of a pickup truck for me. Don't recall pricing, but it seemed reasonable. Also shipped a transaxle or two myself using Fedex, also reasonable prices, etc.

Hi Pat,
        When I shipped my TR6 overdrive transmission I used FedEx. I don’t recall the weight, but it was under the FedEx weight limit. 175 Lbs. may be over the FedEx weight limit.  I custom constructed a wooden crate and have had to ship the transmission/OD twice, but in both instances it came through with no damage and on time.
        Best,
        Bob
        ’72 TR6
