Online fedex gave me a price of almost 90 dollars to ship an 18" 25lb wheel to DE

How do I ship this affordably? Thats highway robbery, but I understand its because there iw no account.
 
See if you can get the company to get you a shipping label. They probably pay half or less of what you would have to pay. Just pay them.

Is the wheel damaged? Why are you returning it?
 
It doesnt clear my baer caliper, it is 100% perfect, just unboxed and put back in.

fuck'em because everyone provides a return label, even ebay. Charged to me of course, but at their rate, not rape me retail rate.

Their return policy was also kind of hidden, only said return accepted if unmounted, had to dig sround for the 20% thing.

Im just going to have a customer drop it off there monday, he lives in OC and wont mind, unless I can get it shipped for 60 or less.
 
$90 is what i pay to ship bellhousings.
19" x 19 x 12 box packed to the gills with protection.

Over the counter no account white guy price.

thats insanity man, fuck

maybe i should just try to get an account under my business and see how much cheaper it will be

There is a couple aspects to it.

Idkiyk, "ups stores" ARE NOT UPS. :eek:
They are a private licensed buisness. You will always pay more through a ups store than going to ups dirrectly.

Setting up a buisness account saves you more again. But that savings is also based on quantity.
 
I was going to give a ibb member a ford morror i didnt need.
Using the same box the $120 delivered new pair of mirrors came in but cut down from 16 x 16 x 24 to 16x 8x 24, $130.

It was cheaper for him to buy new mirrors than for me to ship him a free 1.
