Default Thoughts on shipping a complete rear end

I'm looking at a rear end in Houston Texas and needing it shipped to my location outside of St Louis. Any thoughts on services or options to do this and cost? Cost of shipping is almost always a deal killer but thought I'd just check.

I've read that lots of guys have had good luck shipping from one Fastenal store to another. Stuff has to be securely fasted to a pallet, for easy handling. Should be plenty of Fastenal locations in the Houston & St Louis areas. Might not hurt to check with your nearest location.

I caught a glimpse of My Rear End when I got out of the shower this morning ....


Go store to store shipping thru Fastenal - drain the fluid & strap to a pallet ....

I shipped one through Fed Ex but had to bring it to their hub. Strapped to a pallet, of course.

If you ship Fastenal and want it insured, it has to be crated totally enclosed. See their website. 3PL or third party logistics.
