    One Question....
    There has been lots of talk about the fact that we all need to use the same shipper.... But i dont recall ever reading about a final decision of whether it is DHL, USPS, UPS, Fed-Ex??
    Can somebody please tell me(and others, unless im the only one that didnt read it) what we should be getting quotes through!!!
    :huh:
    I'd love to get my money outta here and the John that way we can get our caps ASAP!:dance:

    WHile I make pretty good money I would bet most highschool kids income would end up being more time all the bills I have to pay verse the bills they would have to pay:yikes: :(


    Let's see Rent $750.00
    Wife's car payment $240.00
    ATV payment $125.00
    Phone Bill Internet $100.00
    Cell phone bill Family plan $100.00
    Groceries at least $500.00 a month sometimes when I'm really hungry $800.00:D
    Electric average $175.00
    Garage rent $50.00
    Gargage electricity $35.00
    Gas $400.00 for 3 cars
    Snap On tool payment $300.00
    Way more stuff that goes wrong and needs money to be fixed:bs:
    well you get the idea........


    Jamie I am not knockin on ya I got nothing but love for ya:Handshake
    I'm just saying reality is you likely have more free money than most of us that work full time. If it wasn't for side work I would have nothing at the end of the month. That includes my wifes small income:whew: That's me at the end of the month and everything gets paid:D Yes, I could live much cheaper but why should I:evilsmile Any way back on topic. When does John need the money. I procrastinate sometimes so you better tell me 2 weeks before you really need it.

    Anybody out there feel my pain:yikes:

    Mavowar I feel ya, keeping gas in 4 vehicles and insurance and college fees and things like that and a Junior in high school in marching band and all the $$$ associated with that...well you know. Jamie, ask your dad for a small loan to ship your dash cap and if he won't loan it to you then I will so you can get it.

    Excuse me? You know nothing of my situation and I would apprecaite if you wouldn't make assumptions about it. Sometimes I do have a very small amount of free money. But that is certainly not right now, otherwise I wouldn't have said anything here in the first place.

    Wayne, I genuinely appreciate the offer, but I think I got it covered right now. I think me and Dan are going to get ours shipped together.

    I Choose Fedex For Shipping

    John, which service should we use for shipping?

    Okay, lets all take a vote on which way we should have the caps sent to us AFTER they get to John.

    Here are some quotes I have gotten for shipping from: 40218 to 23503
    USPS - Parcel Post 4 days $14.21 (I chose Large pkg - it calulates what size it is considered automatically when you put in the dimensions anyways)
    FEDEX - $12.28 using Fedex Home Delivery
    UPS- $15.15

    That is 2-3 dollars difference between highest and lowest.

    Package dimensions: 60" X 10" X 10" - 5lbs

    I used the same package dimensions on each site and chose the 4 day delivery option.

    I am putting my vote in for FEDEX since that has some sort of insurance on it for $100.

    How did you get that quote? I am not sure where to look and I don't feel like searching through a million sites.

    I guess they just know how big California is and figure they'll have a problem finding your house so they automatically charge you guys more. :huh:
