The local rep said they would "put the crates on the ground" for me. A large flat bed truck arrived with a heavy duty fork lift on the back. Perhaps your carrier will do something similar. -------- RV-10 UC Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=437451#437451 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:18:38 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Taking Delivery of Quickbuild Fuse/Wings From: "johngoodman" One caveat... Are you using Tony Partain, or somebody like him that personally delivers it? The reason I ask is that Van discounted the shipping by $400 each time (I did two different orders) if Tony delivered them. That amounted to no crates for the finished wings, and the actual fuselage. The canopy and windshield also came uncrated. It actually made it a little easier. I had already built a wing stand, so we put them straight into the stand. The loose parts all went on tables or the ground. There were still several crates with parts on each delivery. The suggestion that you get helpers is a good idea.

They're not Harbor Freight reasonable but they're also built considerably better. It's hard to throw out a price because they have so many different units and set-ups and you can customize them. To show off their strength they would fully open a drawer and then stand in it. I don't think I'd try that with an HF unit. --Rick On 01/22/2015 08:18 AM, johngoodman wrote: > > > Dave, Out of curiosity, how much do those things cost?

I got a quote for my own custom layout, 12 drawers, 60"W x 30" deep x 47" tall with thick maple top and exactly the layout I requested. $2800 less shipping. Any color. All reviews say they're bombproof. Still deciding though as similar boxes are out there for less.

Have you considered flying to Portland (commercial), renting a U haul, and driving back? This is or at least was the least expensive option. I did it all in one long day (arrived home at 1 am). No crating charge, Vans will load tbe U haul for you, get friends to help unload. Have wing stands ready. One way drop off charge is less expensive if you return the truck to an east bay location as opposed to San Francisco. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=437480#437480 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
