    I'm trying to figure out how to ship a bumper from Northern Cali to Southern. I have no problem driving up there to get it but figured it would be cheaper and easier to just ship it. I called a few shops but no one really knows if they can ship it and just keep giving me the run around. I'm really confused do they not normally ship things? One guy said it takes up to much space and just sat for a month? I thought most the vendors on here use them to ship bumpers etc? Anyone else have any other ideas? If all else fails I guess I"m driving up there.

    I had my BAMF sliders shipped from the original owner to me by Fastenal. After 3 weeks of delays and empty promises, I went to the local Fastenal here and they found them, and got them delivered.

    By the sound of it, the shipping Fastenal just stuck a label on the sliders, it fell off by the time it got to Atlanta. In Atlanta, the sliders were pushed into a corner and noone bothered to find out anything to get them delivered.

    Over the shipping price is good, the service is pretty poor, but they may be a best deal for the big heavy stuff.

    Fed Ex they are not.

    crap bolted and welded together....
    fastenal is easy to ship through. Flat rate on time zones. Cost like nothing to ship DCLB sliders from oregon to texas. If they cant figure it out, have them call store ORKLA, located in K. Falls oregon. They have you fill out a form, pay the fee, done... lol to ship in the same time zone i believe its like less then $80.
