Recommendations for Shipping Large Items

[NorCam]

You can ship any larger dry commercial goods between Fastenal stores as your drop off and pick up points. They deliver store to store in their own trucks for a very nominal rate. Car parts, wheels/tires, body panels, interiors are no problem as long as there's no oils, liquids or glass involved. I shipped a full interior on a skid from PA to MT recently, a roll bar with dry goods on a skid from CA to MT, and last year an engine on a skid from CT to MT...and all for less than $200 each shipment.

They want items palatalized and shrink wrapped with nothing hanging over the edges of the skid. You first contact their 3PL (3rd Party Logistics) Division for a rate and give them the dimensions and weight with a description of the goods and store locations involved. They then send you a quote and once you sign off, the pallet of goods must be taken to the agreed store in the city it's being shipped from, and arrives at the store where it's being picked up and paid for at. Usually within 7-10 days depending on distance. Just be sure you pack things well, shrink wrap it and LABEL the goods and the pallet.

Not all stores have forklifts so perform your own due diligence on the store it'll be dropped off at, and the store it's being shipped to before you go prep things for a quote. Most of the larger stores have a forklift to get the skid off a pickup truck while the smaller ones do not. They do not pickup nor do they perform home deliveries. Store to store only where you do the leg work and pack it on a skid. They simply ship and house it for pickup.
