ok so i found a guy in north carolina that is selling the srt 10 hood for 400. its already silver so i dont have to paint it. the only problem is that im in texas. i just got an email from him today and was quoted 275 for shipping. is this high?? i really dont want to pay that much to ship and was wondering if anybody can help me out. thanks

 

thats about right for "freight " shipping considering its accross the u.s.a
and besides 675 aint bad

 

Ask him how much it weighs and what is the size for shipping calculations and then what carrier or freight he is using. I think 400 is cheap for a SRT hood and 600 +/- is about right overall. Plus you dont have to paint it assuming it is in great condition and gets to you that way.

 

its 100lbs and he is using freight n shipping. i did a real quick quote on ups. for their freight it said it had to be over 150lbs but it let me do the quote. it came to about 200. then ups ground was 90 bucks...

 

You could always explain you are trying to find the cheapest but safest shipping method and ask him to forward you his shipping quote.

 

well actually the shipping company emailed me the quote. im trying to see if they would go down a little bit. would it be easier to fly down there, rent a uhaul and drive it back. i fly for free so thats not a problem...

 

renting a Uhaul for that distance is going to cost you more than $275. That's about what the freight charges are, you might get UPS to ship it, but you're not getting screwed.

 

That shipping price sounds right for shipping a hood that distance. With the shipping price factored in you are getting a fair deal as long as the hood is in good shape.

 

i just talked to the company. the guy was really nice and said the best he could do is 220. which is more reasonable for me.

 

As long as you are sure the hood is in good shape I would say do the deal.
