Matthew,
My kits have been delivered seperately, but since no one else has answered:
I had my wing kit delivered to my appartment $358.
I picked up the fuselage from the freight terminal $269.
The finishing kit will be delivered next week.

Wings
I picked up my wing kit at the ABF terminal. This saved me 60 bucks in delivery fees. My total paid for terminal pickup was $242.07

OK folks, here are some real world numbers for shipping to the DFW area.
Slow build, wing, fuse and finish kit.........4 crates, 1050 lbs combined,
shipped to my door for $692.35
I had 4 of my men unload the crates out of the trailer by hand no problem. I also had the option to have it delivered in a truck with a lift gate for $110 extra, which of course I declined.

Shipping Costs
Matt,
What carrier did they use. I just got my Pro # and punched in on ROADWAY and it looks like it is $996.
AM I Missing Something.
Oh, it is slow build wings.
Anyone have it ship with ROADWAY. I was planning on $300 so I will have to go to plan B.

It was shipped with ABF. The driver guy mentioned that Vans has some sort of an agreement with ABF so they get a substantial discount........Is it too late to have it shipped by ABF??
BTW, it took a couple of weeks to get it to North Texas, but that was including the Christmas holidays.

Matthew,
Didn't have a choice in the shipper. They usually ship the cheapest way so I will call them in the AM and see what is up. If it is 996 someone will here about it.
Thanks for the input.
