Sorry if dumb question...
« on: Feb 11, 2011, 11:04:41 PM »
I need to ship large items, say like a straight axle and a couple doors, how would I get those shipped? You just show up with the stuff at the ups store or what? :hammerhead:

shipping on something as heavy as a front axle would be at least $100 I would think.  Shipping on a 3rd member from Marlin is $60

yea but i'd assume it's only that cheap because they own a business and ship daily. residential's much more expensive.... definently shop around!
