Slow build shipping costs
How much is it going to cost to get the kit to NSW Australia?

My wings and fus ship at the end of the month and shipping cost is really starting to concern me. Anyone have current ABF cost per mile rate?

I'm getting to the point of ordering my wings soon and had a similar question but does anyone use a different company other than ABF. I know there is a Yellow freight hub right near me... and I see FedEx Freight trucks on the road all the time... Is there a Vans recommendation? I live on the East Coast so picking it up in person just aint happening

I have a friends fuse kit and my wing kit bieng shipped together next week by ABF to Lewiston, New York. Barb said it would be around $640, so close to $320 for each of us. Not bad, as far as I'm concerned. But then I'll be hit with 13% tax when I bring it across the borer to the cold north! Then again, I avoid those BS brokerage fees!

Partain
I tried to contact Partain to get a price from them before I let vans pick a shipper for me, but they never would return my call, I left message letting them know it would be for sw Louisiana on the message. I figured they were not interested in coming down to the deep south.
