Chuck can you give me some contact info about this story this is the kind of stuff I am looking for for my TV segment on buying race cars -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 6:30 PM Subject: RE: [F500] racecar shipping
Cory - As I recall, the Brannon's had a HORROR story about Don shipping their new Red Devil from MT to Orlando several years ago as 'Car Parts'. Carrier damaged the crate and had to open it.....jacked the freight bill up to encompass 'Automobile' and the fee went from about $800 to $3K. I understand there was additional haggling and eventually the Brannon's were able to take delivery of the car and all the unassembled pieces.

I had a very preliminary discussion with FedEx Freight about shipping a "crate of car parts". The prelim estimate that they gave me was around $650. That was commercial location to commercial location, with no lift required for pick up or delivery. They will go residential on one end only for a fee, and send trucks with lifts for an additional fee. I called them in Dec, so the price was before their most recent increase. I also need to get a lot of details straight with them before I'm confident that I know the true cost. I'm planning to call them again in the next few weeks and will post again once I have more info. It really sucks that Consolidated Freight went bust. --------------------------------- Have a burning question? Go to Yahoo!
