Fastenal was a bust……expensive plus box /crate needs to be on a pallet.
Might be good for something heavy like a gear box but crazy compared with ups/ FedEx.
I tried fastenal. What a hassle. Took a day to be told they wouldn't ship to where I wanted. I just call my freightquote rep and in 5 minutes it's done and paid and another 10 minutes later they email me the BOL.
I use fedex for anything other than a pallet or something I can't lift. If you have a free account and use it often, the rates are very good. Ben uses UPS and that works for him.
My buddy was going to ship Fastenal. You have to drop off at a store and then pick up at a store on the receiving side. For almost the same price, I scheduled a freightquote pickup (carrier was fedex) and they picked up and delivered at the sending and receiving location. So why do half the work for the same amount of money?
