Hi All
I was over on the 1965 site when I found a post discussing fastenal 3rd party shipping. When I get more time I want to offer up some large sheetmetal items, extra engines, engine parts and rear ends for sale. This might be a cost effective way to move these kinds of parts across the country. I wanted to share this with everyone as it may help us stretch our dollars further as we work on our cars. Here's a post I've copied from the 1965 site about this shipper:

If you're both willing to work around it... you need to check with Fastenal's about their shipping services (they call it Third Party Logistics). If you can securely strap it to a pallet, you can ship pretty much whatever from one store location to another, and the charge is typically $100.

If you fill out the form, you'll get an email back telling you what store you can take it to, and which store they will be able to deliver it to, and what the rate will be. On items I've shipped (like a set of corvette wheels) or items I've priced (like a pair of "C" head and a torker intake) the charge was $100. You don't even have to box the stuff, as long as it will ride securely on the pallet.

Good to know - will they take o/s pallets?
Ie - quarter panels?

Thanks I will keep that little token in my pocket for the future.
