Hi All
I purchased a rear clip of a 914 on ebay. I need some suggestions on getting this picked up and delivered to me. The clip is large and on a pallet but it is at a residence in South Carolina. Does anyone have any ideas or know of any company they would reccomend? I am near Chicago. Thanks Mark |

The seller takes it to a truck line terminal.....they ship it to one of their terminals near you.....and you pick it up from there. Now all he has to find is a trucking line that serves both of your areas.

Thanks Ron
The problem is the guy told me during bidding that shipping wasn't a problem and that he had shipped the front half overseas. Now I find out he is in a residence, has health problems and the nearest terminal is 50 miles away. Thanks for the input |

Your next choice is now to find someone in SC that would be willing to transport it to a terminal.
Truckers do not pickup or deliver to residences UPS would bankrupt you. I don't know about Forward Air or some of the others. You need friends (friends = willing non-club club members) to help you...put out the call. |

ForwardAir is the best deal for shipping large parts, but the seller still has to get it to their air freight terminal.
