You never know if you don't ask. He should post pics of the battery tray and hell hole though.
Some guys get pissy because I say I charge actual shipping, and I'm not going to spend time to quote; it is what it is.
So here's a tip - let the buyer handle shipping. It will make your life so much easier. I'll load a car on a truck. Pallet and load an engine or trans on the truck but will no longer make the shipping arrangements. Why? Well if the shipper has a problem, It all used to fall on me. It can kill a day or 3 when the shipper screws up. It's out of my hands once it's loaded on the truck so it makes sense to be out of my life as well. These days the shipping companies make it so easy for the buyer, you don't have to be a pro. No reason to hunt for quotes for the buyer if they are the one making the decision.
This too is GREAT advice, that I too learned the hard way, we don't handle shipping on cars, I load them carefully, take a bunch of pics, and then they go away. When they stuck in customs, not my problem, when they get damaged, not my problem. Once it leaves my gate, my job is done.
