Harmless 0 #3 September 25, 2009 I've UPSed a few rigs back and forth from Ogden, UT to Montgomery, AL a few times and most I payed was $35... And that is a pretty good price on a plane ticket."Damn you Gravity, you win again" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guppie01 0 #4 September 25, 2009 Quotemost I payed was $35... Holy cow, how did you get that good of a rate? When I enter the cargo value it mandates that it's shipped priority and rates were anywhere from $93.00 - $98.00. g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"

kmills0705 0 #8 September 25, 2009 That seems high. I have shipped rigs and have been sent a rig (last year) and I don't think it was that much. It may be because I am smack in the middle of the country and not near the distance... but yeah that seems like crap!Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I wonder if renter insurance would cover that?) But even with the value I just did an online qoute for a 25lb box that 24x18x12 and is worth $3000 for UPS ground at $58 (at $6000 it came to $85)... without the insurance it was $32"Damn you Gravity, you win again" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morrison79 0 #11 September 25, 2009 Are you shipping it overnight or ground? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guppie01 0 #12 September 25, 2009 I was hoping to be able to ship it ground, however when I input the value it kept rejecting it and noting that I had to ship it priority. But I see (post above) it is possible to ship it ground - so I'm going to go back and re-do the shipment. g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"

iluvtofly 0 #13 September 25, 2009 I just shipped 2 medium sized boxes to my brother in Afghanistan for a total of $25. I'm sure you can find a cheaper way to ship the rig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
