I was never given a choice for which freight company they used (not that it really matters).. do they normally ask who you want to use or do they just go with whoever is cheaper if you don't specify?

SB Wings to my house in Minneapolis area for $285 via ABF. Gas prices don't seem to be having a major impact compared to some of the posts earlier in the year.

Did you get both crates? ABF lost my Spar Crate.

I'll be using a different carrier for the Fuse, Finish and motor.

FYI Just got my slow build wing kit for my -7. Fed ex charged me 230 delivered at my home in los angeles. No damage, and the guy helped me move the boxes into the garage.

Default Use the internet for info

I have had parts shipped both FedEx and ABF. They both had internet tracking systems that showed the fees and location of the crate also. ABF, though, showed my crate still miles away when the local terminal called to tell me it was in town actually. It was only 45 bucks more to deliver to my house so factor that in. Ask to make sure.

Default Slow Build Shipping costs to DFW

.........................I know that its probably been posted before but , I can't find it.

DFW builders: Anyone remember the approx shipping cost for your slow build wings, fuse and finish kit to the metroplex? All three are being shipped together next week.

Default Slow Build Fuselage Kit Shipping Cost

Chad,

My SB fuselage kit shipped to Minneapolis area via ABF on Dec 1st at a cost of $178.45. ABF told me it would cost about $80 more to ship directly to my house (about 25 miles from their terminal) so I picked it up at their local terminal. The box is 8 ft 1 inch in length so it fit in my 4' x 8' trailer but I had to leave the back gate off and strap it down. Also, with a weight of about 325 lbs I was able to unload it from the trailer to the garage floor with just a little help from my wife.

From the responses of others it appears I got a good deal.

From viewing your website it appears we are at about the same point in the build process -- or at least we will be by the time you get your fuse.
