Well FedEx and UPS have decided to add a “surcharge” for any box over 50#s Of course no one notified me before thousands of dollars of orders have been taken on the now extinct rates…don’t worry I won’t be asking for the difference guys… Its nuts, they have add a 24$ per box surcharge to any box over 50#…that’s approx. 58 products of mine. While I wait for my FedEx rep to phone me back (probably never) I’ve HAD to adjust shipping on full kits, Ill investigate ways to get around the surcharge for now but for any full kit 48 $ has been added to the already high shipping price it was…if you have concerns about shipping email me and Ill see what I can work out. Basically it would be cheaper to break the kit down to 3 boxes than ship it in two boxes it looks like…but that takes away from buying a fully assembled kit..damn them. I will update as info becomes available
have you checked with Fastenal – they will add to their trucks – you just have to pick up at the closest Fastenal shop –
Okay spoke to my REP finally (2 weeks) seems they can do a better discount and take away some of the pain but not all, I will have to wait and see what they do..25% of the surcharge was hinted.. (could be a few days before it`s applied) Now the bad news they can only discount me on the overweight surcharge until the end of the year then Fedex is getting rid of the discount for the residential home deliveries…guys and gals, we need to start shipping to businesses to avoid this charge after the first of 2021…otherwise it will be collected. UPS, DHL..I`ll be checking with them for kicks.
Just wanted to comment on this once again, MI to UTAH 52#`s, 2 boxes my rate 188.86, collected 140. from customer, I`ve still not found an alternative for this extreme price hike. I need to make the kits lighter or send them in more pieces to avoid that surcharge.
