Shipping cost, beware.
 

Beware if you get a quote shipping an engine, make sure you get a faxed copy. Got my "verbal" quote with quote number from Southeastern to ship to Kens, I told them up front, full value insurance, need a lift gate delivery. Got my bill today and it was $120 higher than quoted. Seems they "forgot" to add the ins and lift to the original quote. So I'm SOL, I would have delivered it, met Ken and seen his shop had I gotten that price quoted.

Beware of Bax Global. We had 2 engines damaged and they never paid on one. One damage EACH WAY!!!!!! We ate that one.
The other is a story I will tell my grandkids as far as how the damage occurred and the story changed 3 times. Don't know if I could print it here. Never again with them.

I just want everyone to know this has nothing to do with Kens, it's a problem with Southeastern Freight Lines.

I'm still waiting to hear back from Southeastern. I have a copy of my quote now, on it it states, "This estimate is based on information given" We gave them size, wt, insurance, gate etc...
On the quote is has a freight charge price and a fuel surcharge. I assumed (wrongly it seems) that the freight charge included Ins and gate. Apparently it would have been listed seperate like my bill was. Ok, how am I supposed to know that? I asked for a quote, gave them the info they asked for, got the quote and ok'd the shipment based on the quote.

Ken, give me a call asap when you're ready to start on the engine so we can talk about it first. I'm really looking forward to this build.

No problem. Opened it last week and pulling all the stuff out tomorow. Will tank the block & heads Thursday. Nice block. Walls look good. Will mic and check Thursday/Friday. Will also check the heads & Scat crank too. After I check everything this weekend will let you know on Monday. Ok?
