I am getting extremely frustrated at trying to ship a Transmission from Tweak'd. UPS was stupid and would not help out at all saying it would cost $800+ to ship it (more than the transmission) and Fedex said $216... fine, but when I was triny to set it up they wanted me to fill out a bill of lading and it was so confusing and what not...

So, I ask you all, what is the best way to set up a shipment where you are the receiver and are paying for the shipment....

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Kevin

well to be honest, I think they want the company to pick it up. and the last time something was shipped using grayhound, supposedly it was lost (so the shipper said) so I am stuck trying to figure this out... its really annoying

I have shipped over 50 items via greyhound and have never had anything broken or stolen, so it sounds like the seller was full of sh!t. If they require it to be picked up then why are they selling it? lol

Did you talk to UPS or UPS freight?

I've not tried it. I just heard about it from a guy that is starting a business in my area doing this sort of thing.

RL carriers could be worth looking into.

yeah it is rather annoying trying to set up when you are not the seller... I have no clue where your busieness is or anything like that... its crazy.

I did try normal avenues of shipping IE Fedex and UPS. I called UPS 3 times, two where unhelpful and the 3rd quoted me $876! and Fedex only wanted $216. but they were a pain in the ass to deal with.

but thanks guys.
