Fastenal ships freight items?

katoranger · 12-01-2014, 11:53 AM

I just found out the Fastenal will ship freight items from store to store. They will also let the receiver pay on their end.

Found it on a tractor forum. People have been shipping whole garden tractors on skids for pennies.

Somebody mentioned that to me recently, but I can't recall whom. I wonder if we could send bikes that way.

If you can shipping a garden tractor a motorcycle should be easy.

Thanks for posting the great information, Allen.

I wonder if this might be a less expensive way to get a Zongshen RX3 shipped from Azusa, California?

Through my business I get discounted shipping. Anyone in the Kansas City area can piggy back on my shipment and get lower cost. If we get enough coming here then we can get a partial (or full) truckload rate that will be much cheaper than single unit shipments. I have a forklift at my warehouse for easy unload. Also have a bike lift in the shop for easy assembly.

Jim, Raymore is about 2 hours from me. If I need something shipped I may have to check with you.

Spud I would think that they could ship an already crated RX3. Might be worth the check. CSC should be able to get you the size/weight/class info.
