Shipping cost?

[Kenny123]

Hey yall do any of you know roughly how much it costs to ship the kit to SC? I am sure I will get a quote when my kit is ready I'm just trying to figure out if I wanna ship it or just drive and grab it all. Thanks a ton.

I paid about 700 but my kit shipped with 5 others.

I'm in SC.

Contact Adam for a quote.

If you drive to Texas and get it yourself you'll pay Texas taxes, which may negate any cost savings.

$675 hot-shot to Charlotte with 4 others (second to last drop)

Optimize and I live close together, we used different companies to ship but had similar costs. Hot shot does not ship painted frames and may not be available at the time you need yours because it's economical to ship with multiple kits. It's a dude with an open trailer and a normal truck.

I shipped mine with Stewart Transport (they do factory five) and have an enclosed semi trailer and can ship painted frames.

Stewart is substantially more expensive than hot shot unless you bundle a lot more people like I did. They also take forever, too and the driver was a rude piece of **** to me.

$750 for me with 3 others through Stewart.

But usually in this case, you won't have to pay your state's sales tax, so depending on rates, you about break even. This varies widely based on what titling and registering is like in your state.

Nate flew down, bought a rust free used truck, drove back to WI, and sold the truck for profit. That's the right way to do it.
