Subject:Shipping with Forward Air inthe Washington DC area

Hello, becauce I have used this company a few times,they want to give me a BIG discount in shipping charges. I can ship up to 400# anywhere in the 48 states for $90. WOW! Now, Forward Air is airport to airport, and one needs to drop off and pick up, at the airport.

  Retail is much much higher than this figure I have recieved. A 4 cyl VW diesel engine to Atlanta Ga cost about $200( 225#).  5 Aluminum wheels and two tires to SFO cost about $130. This pallet was 165#.   What would 400# have been? Now it is only $90 for me.

  I can get an even better rate to New England(Hello Mike) 400# for $55. I still have those fiberglass coolant tubes for a 1.9, at my store. I can ship them to Boston for a mear $55.

  Why am I writing this?  I figured ,why not make money on it.  If anyone wants to ship large and heavy items out of the DC area,let me know. I will split the.difference between retail rates and my discount,with you. That 380# syncro component pallet wont cost $345 to ship to your auntie Jane in LA. Only cost $90 +  1/2 the difference , or about $260.
