Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just bought a h/t on ebay for $600, but its in Scottsdale AZ, and I'm in NYC. The seller quoted $700 to ship it. Does that sound outrageous? I spent almost that much to have the whole car shipped up from TX. Anyone have any ideas?

POST 2Original post

Round trip to scottsdale would be a trip to remember.

POST 3Original post

Here's the thing: It is very likely too large to ship via FedEx or UPS regular service. I would call them and find out for sure. UPS I believe has LTL or palletized shipping available, but I am not sure how competitive their pricing is. The reason your seller is quoting you so much money is because he is no doubt going to send it via common carrier / LTL shipping. These shipments are based on weight vs. volume. The problem with the aluminum top is that it takes up a large volume but weighs very little. For this you get penalized in shipping costs. If you want to get a better idea of what market prices are for shipping something like that, look up "LTL shipping" or "Freight Consolidator" in yahoo or some electronic yellow pages. The other thing you can do is call your dealer (or any other dealer) and ask how the aluminum tops get shipped to them. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

Call UPS with shipping weight.. It does sound a lot

POST 5Original post

Your best bet is a freight forwarding company. I've had 2 hardtops shipped this way. Your seller drops it off at a terminal (there is one by every majoy USA airport) and you can pick it up near Newark or JFK. The last time I did it was about $165.

Mojo, Who did you use a freight forwarding co? How much did you have to pay to have it crated? Thanks
