Check Greyhound Bus Lines Freight for shipping costs on items like those.

DAW

 

I looked into Greyhound - sample shipping cost for Quickor rear A/R bar @ 22lbs, 46" x 23" x 3"

from Annapolis to San Diego: $46.85. USPS priority mail, same item to your door instead of a bus

station in a bad neighborhood: $53.70 or $49.63 paid online.

 

An added problem with Greyhound is that there's a fuel surcharge in addition to amount quoted using

the calculator. The chart explaining surcharge rates is incomprehensible, so it could easily end up

being no cheaper than Priority mail or UPS, but a major pain in the ass for seller and buyer alike. Even

if it is cheaper, what do we spend driving 20 or 30 miles to a bus station just to save five or ten bucks? :angry:

 

I always check UPS and USPS Priority because one or the other can be the winner depending on package

size. The exception is little stuff that fits into USPS flat rate boxes because that's always predictably fast

and cheap if the items will fit.

Yikes! I got mixed up and forgot to look for a second page

on this thread. My apologies to people I ignored. See updates

to original ad...some new items listed and now has all-included

prices shipped for many small to medium sized items where

I'm hopefully able to predict the cost correctly.

 

Jefe de jefes...I don't know why the USPS calculator isn't

quoting me rates like that. They might have gone up a lot

in recent months, maybe? The fed.gov is way in the red along

with the PO as we all know, and they're aggressively working to

rake in the bucks in many new and creative ways. Did you know

about the billions of new 1099 forms that now must be filed

when businesses purchase goods as opposed to just services?

That was inserted amongst the thousands of pages of the health

care bill - another example of newly aggressive fundraising.

 

DREWSDIME: sorry to ignore ya, didn't mean to. My heavily

edited OP now gives shipped prices for those to anywhere

because they're USPS flat rate.

Bump! Please email me directly at: cgr8818021@bluefrog.com

 

Updates: I will part out the L20b I have if somebody buys a valuable

shippable part like the head. I do not want to turn a good running engine

into scrap metal for a $10 part. Thanks for your understanding.

 

Please e-mail me directly for photos. Photobucket just

"upgraded" to flashplayer-only and I can no longer use it. Transferring it

all over to Flickr, but that may take a while under current market conditions

(not selling anything).

[Chris#51EPGraham]

Bump. I've updated the list to reflect what's sold. Not that much overall because

it's a long list. Thanks to all you guys in TX, AZ, CA and WA.

L16 flywheel bolts?

Chris -

 

I have a 68 4-door, and I'm considering the "510 strut housings shortened for Rabbit/scirocco inserts, CO, cut/rewelded"...

 

Basically, I'd then need to source shorter springs and inserts, correct?

 

(Sorry for the newbie question - I have 5 classic Datsuns, and 4 other cars, all modded, and I lose track of which suspension requires what! :) )

 

Also considering:

 

Bump steer spacers, 1" thick cast aluminum w/correct length grade 8.8 bolts

G-Machine delrin/aluminum bushings second set, USED

 

Should be good for my application, no?

 

ALSO, please tell me you have ONE '68 skinny side marker? Have been looking forever for one.

[Chris#51EPGraham]

Bump - see Sept 6 2010 updates. Sorry to anyone I didn't reply to on thread. Please

News flash! I just shipped a boxed oil pan full of other parts from here (Maryland) to Corona,

CA for $18.45 via USPS parcel post and it arrived in 2 days - parcel post can take up to 7 days

and UPS-like tracking is available for a mere 80 cents extra. The low price tradeoff is a gamble

that it might be fast or slow. USPS parcel quotes run 30 - 40% cheaper than priority or UPS.

any pics of the shortend struts?

I have heard people grumble about nfed-ex but they are less than ups and I have not had a problem.

Yeap, I'm one of the grumblers. On the recieving end I've had FedEx lose an order for weeks and then

deliver to a neighbor, and I used to get my neighbors' FedEx stuff all the time. What got me about parcel

post is that it was much faster than promised at a price nobody can beat. And it's reliable. Even if it takes

a full 7 days the low cost can make some trans-continent deals do-able which otherwise wouldn't be.

Bump.
