FENDERS AND HOODS. WHAT
YOU NEED TO DO Fed
Ex, UPS Freight, DHL and hundreds of other good
companies are out there. You will need to check out
the costs; insurance etc. There are also online
companies that have heavy discounts with shippers that
can sell you the services. We
do not have a location at this time where we can get a
big; truck to a pickup point so we need to deliver all
fenders and hoods to a shipper's depot or local
agent. You
will need to send us an appropriate BOL (Bill of
Lading); and whatever document(s) the shipper will
require to let us drop the box(es) at their depot or
agent and ANY OTHER REQUIREMENTS. We had one situation
where we could not drop a box unless we had our names
on our shirts and the company name painted on our
truck. Like if I was REALLY planning doing something
nefarious I WOULDN'T be glad to do all that
nonsense. You
can tell them the item is well packed in a cardboard
container but as it weighs relatively little it will
NOT be on a pallet. Most carriers haven't cared; but
they should be able to tell you if there is an
additional charge to strap it to a pallet at the
depot/agent. To
get a quote you'll need the approximate weight of the
box and the dimensions. A
Front Fender Box is typically 69 x 33 x 25 A
Hood Box is typically A
Rear Fender Box is typically *The
location of the depot or agent we will be dropping the
box at. Have them search their depot list for the
following Washington cities. (in order). Each group of
cities is about the same distance away. 1.
TACOMA - FIFE - SUMNER They
will need your address; and check to see the cost
difference in delivering to home or business versus
you picking it up at a depot close to you; sometimes
it can be substantial. Sometimes the difference
between them delivering to a residence or a business
can be sizeable as well. BOX.
Many
times your quote will only be good for a VERY limited
time. You can use that quote to get an idea what the
costs are and ask them what they foresee in changes. I
think trucklines. figure their fuel costs etc etc on a
weekly or daily basis. PAYMENT We
can usually clear them in 3-4 working days. Any other
type of money order or cashiers check can add WEEKS to
get verifiable clearance if the issuing bank is not
interested in helping us. Bank
wire transfers are also possible but they currently
incur a $21 charge at our bank and a (currently) $25
charge if it originates in another country. Those take
a week or so to clear the system. TITLE
TO GOODS PASSES TO YOU WHEN THE CARRIER SIGNS FOR IT
WHEN WE DROP IT AT THEIR DEPOT. ANY
ADDITIONAL COSTS ON YOUR END If
they do manage to damage the shipment call your
carrier immediately and keep the box and all
materials. With this type of shipment we are only
acting as the delivery service that brought it to the
depot. You are actually the shipper. .

LARGE BODY PARTS IN USA
Prices on website are normally current; when you
ask about an item we check that right off to be sure
but don't usually find it incorrect. Price of fenders,
doors and hoods include boxing/packing. This charge
may be eliminated along with shipping
costs.
of the unpacked part is usually possible. We need at
least a five days notice for you to meet our driver on
the way back from storage. With enough notice this can
usually be arranged to happen 7 days a week at an hour
of your choosing.
Listed
delivery costs are for the contiguous 48 states;
please inquire for other states and countries. Prices
listed for delivery are set in asphalt but not
concrete; so they can be altered if need be; but we
are loathe to do that. Most "adjustments" that may
come up we typically "eat" because we want these parts
out of our warehouse and put to good use; not ending
up someday as scrap. If something did make a change
necessary you would know before box is packed; and
again; a change is not likely.
We
are no longer handling the shipping of large items
that can't be sent by United Parcel Service's package
system. Fenders and Hoods and some other items must go
by a Freight Carrier; not a package
carrier.
You can find a shipper; or freight forwarder or get
your Aunt Nellie to pick it up and drive it back to
you.

One or two fenders can go in one box. A hood takes its
own box. Many times some other large size (expensive
to ship) item can go in the same box. Change to
delivery cost would be minimal compared to what it
would be to ship them later. (Rocker patches, floor
pans, front aprons for example)
For an order of this box size we would need payment by
a US Post Office Money Order.
Parts
are packed well when they are delivered to the
carrier.
are
your responsibility. Things like storage or redelivery
charges because you weren't available; or taxes, duty,
all sorts of other things if you live out of the USA.
If you are not home and the delivery driver asks your
spouse if they wants it inside; be careful. Some
carriers have been known to charge exorbitant fees for
"Inside Delivery".
