    Me and another guy on here just went through this. I got a side console from him for my Boat it was 34lbs and UPS wanted 266.00 to ship, go to Grayhound shipping. yeah it's the Bus. but they shipped the console for $66.00 had tracking all the way that you can check on there website. and when it got to my local Grayhound station the little Girl called me and told me it was ready to pick up. I was really happy with how it turned out

    I don’t know who to ship with but definitely stay away from UPS. I just got a set of power poles a few weeks ago and they lost one during transit and were absolutely miserable to deal with. If it wasn’t for Kevin at K&K Kustomz I’d probably still be missing one.

    As a dealer, we ship them via ups freight, it sucks, the freight is expensive and we have to heavily insure it. They have even lost a talon before, had to pay me for it. Thats a chunk of money and how does a talon go bye bye? hmmm... you can try DHL if you have one in your area and sometime fedex freight is cheaper.

    If I could snap my fingers and have UPS go away I’d do it in a heart beat. Worst customer service ever.
    There’s no use being stupid if you’re not willing to show it off.

    UPS ships 5.2 BILLION packages a year worldwide. If they had a million screw ups, they still do a better job then most businesses.
