re: Shipping a 1'x1'x12' package - Best method?

Go to Baton Rouge Packing and Shipping on Coursey next to the Fire Station. They can provide all options that are available and will give you the best method. They are experts in shipping anything, and have nothing in common with places like the UPS store. Have used them to ship high dollar and difficult to ship items for years.

Already looked at u-ship

$300

I had to ship 4 packages like that and Fed Ex was the way to go. Mine was enclosed plastic tube like used for pontoons

If you go with UPS be careful. I once shipped 3 large boxes and my measurements and weights were either exact or a little large just in case.

I got a bid from them online and shipped the stuff. They contacted me after it had shipped and wanted to charge me basically double what the original quote was.

One of my boxes was 70 pounds. They said after it was shipped that the "dimensional weight" was 310 pounds and that's they had revised the charge for shipping. Apparently the "dimensional weight" is a thing that UPS invented to screw their customers. I told them they entered into a business arrangement with me to ship a box that actually weighed 70 pounds when they quoted the price. The box ACTUALLY weighed 70 pounds and they had already been paid. I said they wouldn't get another nickel from me in a million years no matter what they did. They stuck with the original price after that.

Just hope you don't get a noob off UShip
