Re: [Amc-list] shipping fenders

I'd say it would be between Fedex and Greyhound bus.

If the fender is within 165 united inches which is length plus width X2 
plus depth X2.  So if was 66 inches long and 24 inches and 12 inches in 
depth it would be 66 +24+24+12+12 inches = 138 total united inches.   As 
long as are within that 165 total united inches it is likely feasible.

If is larger than this it may go as oversized article and charged at 151 
lbs minimum and it will likely get expensive.

The fenders are light and bulky and will likely be charged on basis of 
dimensional weight.  They will cube out the package at longest length, X 
widest width X deepest depth... If it happened to be as above at 
66X24X12 it would cube out at 19008 cubic inches and the formula weight 
is one pound per each 194 cubic inches or 98 pounds...  So they would 
charge you for as a 98 pound parcel.  It might be expensive... You will 
have to check out the actual dimensions and weights and check for the 
rates with FedEx  or their agents.

I do think they regularly handle fenders and know the are certainly top 
freight and don't stack heavy stuff on them and try not to scratch them 
to hard...

Make sure to specify their ground service for their lowest rates.  I've 
generally found them to be a better alternative to UPS for both price 
and service.  You will need their ground parcel service.  Their FedEx 
Trucking service is different from FedEx parcel and it is much more 
costly for such items.

Out here Kinkos Office Supply serves as Fedex Stations.  You can check 
their web site for their office locations, etc.   www.fedex.com.

I still have my Freight Control Systems web page posted:
 http://mysite.verizon.net/res79g4m/fcs/shipping.html    It may have 
more info regarding this sort of thing.   At the time I compiled the 
article on this  I was considering mostly UPS service and charges and 
the regular truck rates.

Hope this info helps, Mark.

Subject: [Amc-list] shipping fenders


Anybody have any new info on shipping fenders?
I just found a pair or rustfree ones for my Americans 
eventual/retirement repaint. They need to be shipped, I was thinking 
greyhound, but the closest package terminal they have in operation now 
is over an hour from here and I can't drive. So, I wondering if even at 
higher cost if Fedex ground or another carrier will take cardboard 
wrapped fenders?
   I can proly handle picking them up at the Greyhound terminal if I 
absolutely have to, but it sure would be easier if Fedex ground would 
take them!
    If this deal flies i will have rustfree, fenders, doors, trunk, 
hood. The ones on the car look good now, but most have been repaired in 
one form or another. My hope is to prep rustfree stuff and redo the car 
in a pearl white, then I'd like to get metallic red and blue to use in 
painting it into a pearlized B scheme...maybe just the pearl white!

Anyway, anyone have any shipping help on this stuff, needs to come from 
Alabama to Westvirginia.

Mark
