Members JerryP Posted January 2, 2006 Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 FJA Modded 5150 Just a heads up for anyone looking for a modded 5150. This one has a Mercury OT and choke along with the bias and clarity mods. Price looks pretty reasonable.Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JerryP Posted January 2, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 Originally posted by Zakko $75.00 for shipping = Anal Rapage If he's having it packed profesionally and shipping coast to coast that's about right. That's higher than I'd want to pay too, but sometimes it's worth it to get the amp in one piece and not go thru the horse {censored} with UPS or FedEx.Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DanielRaible Posted January 2, 2006 Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 Whenever I have shipped my amps anywhere, the cost was around $75.00 after proper packaging (double boxed with tons of insulation, tubes removed and two packing lists in separate locations in case of "catastrophic failure" from the freight nazis) and shipping insurance. It also would consume about 1.5 hours of my time. Anal rapage? If he is preparing it well, why would anyone not want to spend a measly $75.00 to make sure that they get what they paid for?

Members Zakko Posted January 2, 2006 Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 I work in shipping/receiving. At most, the actual freight almost anywhere in the CONUS should be around 40 bucks. That's UPS Ground, which IMO, is overpriced. Fed-Ex is much more reasonable. In most cases, I've found them to be about 10-15 dollars cheaper on freight. The whole boxing up/packaging/insurence thing is a ripoff anyway. That's where the ever-so-popular UPS Store stays in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JerryP Posted January 2, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 I just did a quick check on both sites and the shipping alone from me (Central NY) to the west coast is $50 FedEx and $60 UPS for ground. If he's paying to having it packed I still say this is not out of line. Even if he's packing it himself, $15 for boxes, tape, peanuts, and gas to get to the depot and drop it off isn't bad at all.

Members DanielRaible Posted January 2, 2006 Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 I have never listed a flat rate on an auction, but rather figured out what kind of shipping the winning bidder preferred after the auction, since this rate varied depending upon carrier, location and speed. Flexibility seems important, since I have been willing to ship around the world. It is a bit more work in selling (communication, quoting), but people I have sold to have been happy so far. If the winner of this auction turns out to be one state away, and just wants the cheapest carrier, the $75.00 flat rate may be too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no no. I'm talking about personal experience with my private business, not with my company's. They've done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time it's cheaper every time.

UPS and FED EX are great for small packages, but you get better price breaks with Bax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
