 Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2006 4:33 am Post subject: Type 3 panel weights for shipping |
 |
|
I've had a look around, folks, honest!
I'd like to transport two 70+ doors interstate, to myself, from a seller (not ebay).
Knowing how much a complete door, windows and all, weighs would be extremely helpful.
Is there a resource I can refer to for part weights?
Or does somebody know?
I'd appreciate ANY information you can give me.
Unbolting my own to find out would be a drag! |

From past experience Greyhound freight should be around $30 each, maybe more if it's going coast-to-coast. I ship a lot of large items with DHL and something like that would be less than $20, but you would have to have a shipping account with them and ship a lot of packages per month.
If you're not in a hurry and want to ship them for free you could use the "Samba Express", I currently have several items in transit right now
