Shipping tractor parts

I am going to part out a 1940 AC WC, and was wondering how I should have the parts shipped. Will the UPS or Fed EX truck come to my door to pick something up, or do I have to bring stuff to them at some store location? Also, if anyone is interested in parts from this old girl, just email me for pics or what you want. It was a running tractor, but the head gasket blew and there's a knock in the engine when it's running.
 
You can set up an account with UPS/FedEx and they will pick items up at your door. Just goto their websites for details.
 
Another good source for finding shippers is a website called UShip.com. You list your item and shippers bid on your job.

Can sometimes be less than UPS and FedEx. Depends on how far off the Interstates you are.

I've found that site to be [i:2044e1a6d7]almost[/i:2044e1a6d7] as useless as t!ts on a chicken. The shippers want you to haul for less than the price of fuel, get guys battling over hauling some piece of junk for $0.50/mile, USHIP fees are getting rediculous like EBAY, shippers post things on there and don't respond to questions/bids/etc. Go ahead and put your load on there, I can't imagine it being around much longer. Too many dead end loads on there.

Fex Ex is normally 10-20% less expensive than UPS, especially on the heavier stuff. I have an account with them, they will pick up, just call a day ahead. Or use the Web.

For smaller stuff, Post office has some "flat rate" boxes. Any weight. They will also pick up. Just schedule on line by 2a.m. They will also let you order boxes online. My favorite are the flat rate boxes. Great for Pistons/manifolds, iron/steel parts that are small but heavy.
12” x 12” x 5-1/2” -- $12.95
11-7/8" x 3-3/8" x 13-5/8" -- $9.80
11" X 8.5" X 5.5" -- $9.80
