Title: Anybody ever ship a front roller UPS or Fedex?
Post by: WayOffTrack on April 20, 2017, 08:20:48 AM
Just curious. Weight with roller axle shaft is approx. 145 pounds and once I reinforce the box with some plywood it is sure to be a little over 150lbs. I think there might be a rate increase at the 150 pound weight. I found a really nice Poulan mower box that will work.

You my have to ship by truck freight. I think major carriers can do it. I would shop around for price. Also check U-Ship.

Supposedly you can ship through Fastenal pretty cheap if it's on a pallet.  Never tried it myself though.

Watch the video on the page linked below...

Have you tried UPS? last time I shipped a heavy package I asked what the limits were. I thought they said they now will ship packages up to 170 LBS. Not sure of cost though.

UPS did confirm they will take it and quoted a price of $150 to $180.00 I figured the weight at 155lbs.

That's probably just as easy to ship USPS.  Fastenal only ships store to store, it would have to be picked up there as it wouldn't be home delivered.
