Teach me about Shipping Parts!!!

I agree with ^.

But I want to add that you probably do not want to ship anything bigger than an Intake Manifold, or a Cylinder Head....its cost prohibitive unless the buyer wants to absorb all shipping costs.

If the buyer is willing to do so, check shipping rates for the weight/size before giving a Rock Solid Quote.

Otherwise, parts smaller than a intake manifold usually can be shipped for $1/lb plus handling fees. (By handling fees, I mean getting a box, tape and time it takes to prep the package...don't get greedy here...boxes are cheap and if you can't wrap something in less than 15 minutes:sad11:)

I have a FedEx and UPS distribution place close and use them exclusively unless the part will fit in a USpostal First Class Box.

Be honest and upfront, and if you choose to use paypal let the buyer know that paypal charges transaction fees and request them to cover the withdrawal fees for accepting payment that way....or have the buyer get a Money Order and send it to your residence.

Provide phone and email contact info, and if possible relay the tracking number when you ship the part.

Thats the best info I can give.

Good Luck.
