Re: [AMC-List] Shipping COSTS!!??

["RetroRalph" <retroralph@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have the shipment specs, the weight, the size of the package as 
packaged, and the origin and destn zip codes. and the value, etc.

Go to the FedEx web page and input the shipping data and get the quoatationa 
dn print out the pages and the detail showing breakdow of the charges and 
see what you come up with.  If it is oversized package they will have to 
charge to on basis of more weight for all that space occupied by your 
shipment.    There are various formulas for that.

You can figure out what it would be via FedEx.  They are generally a bit 
less that UPS.  Specify their "FedEx Ground" service.  This is  a good 
service and their lowest cost.
