Hey Bud did you happen to buy this on CL in San Diego? If so I almost swooped in and bought it last week lol. There was one for sale here also and it sounds like the same boat?

[yogi]

Just got her today, shipped priority mail insured for $14.10, boat is in excellent shape, rudder, turn fin, boat stand and radio were still in factory packaging-she's a virgin alright lol, will post pics later, just need to get that nitro bs outta there now

You can ship USPS parcel post.. Thats the cheapest way but it takes usually 4-6 days. I sell bodies for the 1/5th scale trucks and have to ship boxes that are 36"x20"x12" and USPS parcel is usually half the cost of Fed Ex. It all depends on how far it also, but usually it's at least half the cost.

Yea it turns out I'm not going to be able to make it up there to pick it up this week, so it willl be gettin shipped. I'd say that that box size would have to be pretty close to what it'll be in, not sure how much it will weigh but shouldn't be much, thanks for the reply

Haha thanks for the input guys, definately willing to pay a few bucks more to make sure it arrives in-tack

If you are working for a company with a high volume discount with UPS, then yes, it may be a little cheaper. If you work for such a large company that uses UPS and you got the quote through their contract, it is not a realistic comparison.As an individual or small business like ours, UPS is definitely more expensive than Fedex ground. We have accounts with both and every time we compare, UPS is the MOST expensive solution of anyone AND they are notorious for breaking stuff.

Certainly agree a first hand inspection before purchase and subsequent personal pickup is the best of all worlds!

yes...thats true but ups is cheaper, thats what he is asking, i think it can vary also from state to state, ground is cheapest, heck....for no further than u two are, ya mabey should see if he will meet ya half way, that way you can look the boat over, my 3 cents

I would just try to pick it up, you could get burned.

Yea goin to indy tues, gonna try to arrange pick up Wow didn't realize UPS was that bad, personaly never had any trouble, but I don't noramally ship fragile items....good to know

NO! NOT UPS! They are very high priced. Use Fedex Ground! Fast, Safe, Cheap. That is how we ship everything too big to go priority mail. UPS could break an anvil I swear!

I totally agree on this.... UPS is terrible.... I actually try and ship usps if possible, I feel they take the best care of the packages.. imho... even if it costs a little more... fed ex is great too...
