UPS just charged me $135 to ship my exhaust to The Crusher

Can you believe it cost that damm much to ship that stupid thing? Because of the stock one piece system and it's unusual size it was considered bulk, 150 lbs....... what crap. The headers and Two Brothers cans probably weigh a quater of that. Unfortunately I had nobody else to ship through......my good deal just went out the window. Al is lucky his M4 system he is shipping to me can be separated into two pieces........Rant over...

For all the stuff I buy from the States I always insist it be sent by US post. They dont seem to cube out the weight ie go by size. UPS is just too damm expensive. When I bought my clear tail lense ages ago I paid $12 shipping via USPS. Ups wanted $56 bugger that for a joke. I had my forks (with axle. triples calipers, levers etc,) 42lbs in actual weight sent via EMS Global and it cost $160, but thats to Australia, and delivered in 4 days.

I are may not be the smartest knife in the cookie jar...............but yes, I did unbolt the Two Brothers Cans. I should have brought a hacksaw.

ouch!!!

I'm not a big fan of UPS, either.

[Dover338]

could you not go with fed-ex, they're definitely cheaper than UPS

We here in Hawaii are used to that crap.

We can ship FedEx ground to the Mainland...But not recieve any FedEx ground back.

UPS rapes everyone here every chance they get.

That's why I ship USPS.

[Tiller2nv]

[Crusher]

*writes note to self* Send Jason the M4's via USPS

j/k bro.....that's too bad about that price, but I think once you get the M4 system, you will really enjoy it

[SDTLR]

USPS all the time.

[jasonstiller]

so jason. i take it your keepin the tiller? welcome to the m4 club ha ha

[Hammerit]

UPS, FEDEX and all other freight companies and couriers charge "volumetric" - whatever is greatest, size or weight, is what you pay for. If you ship fairings that sucks, ask me. The intl postal services charge by weight only. A helluva lot cheaper.

FedEx Ground is very reasonable for the oversize items.

Yeah, that silly stocker is a bugger to store too. Gangly thing.

I don't mind UPS for normal sized items for ground but USPS is great for doing things on the cheap.
