shipping help

chasee69 · 12-02-2008, 11:03 PM

need to get this motorcycle ramp from florida to houston.

its at someones house and he refuses to take it to a place to ship it. so i need a service that will go to his house and pick it up and ship it to houston.

any ideas?

thing weighs 90lbs

FedEx will pick it up from his house.

chasee69 · 12-02-2008, 11:07 PM

any more suggestions. id like to get a few quotes

i think your only choices are fedex or ups. DHL has pulled domestic services in the US

with the amount you are paying in shipping, wouldn't it be cheaper to find something local? Not to mention convenience.

cheapest way to ship it will likely be greyhound, but he will have to drop it off.

For packaging it would just need to be blanket or paper wrapped.

For UPS of FEDEX to ship, it will not be cheap, and it will need to be packaged as well.

dude, that's a heavy ramp, what did you get? a twenty footer?

chasee69 · 12-03-2008, 02:00 PM

its a 9 footer.

seen here https://www.discountramps.com/motorcycle-hitch-ramp.htm
it mounts on to your hitch its really nice. my dads friend is willing to give it to us if we pay for the shipping and have someone pick it up from his house. he no longer has a truck so he has no use for it.

shipping will be a lot i know but its worth it since the ramp is free

ask around on maybe HI or even here with the town it is in.
offer a couple bucks for anyone that may be going down that way for christmas and maybe bring it back with them.
