Re: Fleetside Tailgate
I spend about a quarter of my day every day working in the shipping department at work, and I can tell you that every box that's 40# and up and/or that's oversized is beat up. What they don't drop, falls of the conveyor belt or worse. If I'm going to pack an item that's 66x22x3, the box is going to be at least 3 inches bigger in each direction. There's no sense in shipping it if it will be dented & smashed when it gets there. When I ran the numbers before, I "guessed" bigger than I thought, so my numbers may be a little off.
I just want to warn anyone that's interested that it could be $100 or more depending on where it's going and how well I pack it. Once I package it, I'll put the actual weight and actual measurements into my UPS program at work, and I'll do a screen shot for anyone who buys it. I'm not interested in making money on the shipping. I just don't want someone to be upset with what they get when it get's there. However, if you want me to just slap the label and a fragile sticker on it, I'm ok with that too! I'd also rather tell you it's going to be $100 and have it come out at $75 than the other way around. That's just how I am (under promise, over deliver). Anyhow, Chevy072, thanks for the input. Your point that shipping may not be as much as I think it is going to be is probably correct. I appreciate the help. Don't take my post wrong, I just tend to err on the side of caution. For anyone interested: Now that I have my smooth gate, I can pack this thing up and give you an accurate shipping rate later this week. Let me know if you want me to prep it and run the numbers for you. Thanks - Matt

Re: Fleetside Tailgate
I just pulled it off the truck so that I can pack it up and run the numbers for you. Should be able to get you a quote tomorrow. - Matt

Re: Fleetside Tailgate
Shipping is about $40 for the gate, and additional $8 for the handle/latches/rods (I pulled them off in case you didn't want them and will have to ship them separate at this point.)
So: $148.00 w/hardware shipped to a business in zip 08867 or $115.00 w/o hardware shipped to a business in zip 08867 Let me know. - Matt
