    I doubt anybody would have an issue with adding a set of wheels to the pallet.

    My only question really with shipping is the fact that the stuff we're getting all varies in weight by quite a bit. So i'm curious if Ben has a way to account for that or if its just as simple as divide the total shipping cost by the number of people on the pallet? :notsure:

    For example my bumper only weighs like 80 pounds but a high clearance rear with a swingout is probably close to double that so it'd be logical for them to pay more in shipping i would think..

    Yeah, wheels are fine on the pallet in my mind. I'll get us a pound for pound price and we'll do best guess on each item. I don't have any problems doing all that, the norm is we add a bit to each persons item so they cover my portion. Not looking to get rich but it usually ends up taking anywhere from 5-10 hours total when you factor in trailer rental and pickup and delivery of everything.

    Either of those would be VERY helpful haha. I usually rent a trailer and store the pallet at my house. Lets not forget we have to pay for the crate as well. Billy does it right when it comes to that so they're very well made. That being said they do have some cost. Our 5x5x8 crate was 400 bucks worth of wood and labor. Thats cheap labor. Imagine if we had to pay a shop rate to build something like that.

    I can attest to pallet quality I had to tear the last one down and there's a lot of material and hardware there

    How are we handling shipping? Are we paying Billy individually or is someone covering it then everybody pay their share after?

    I'll collect everything before and pay alaska express when I get the bill. Usually get the bill on arrival though. Everyone will have to pitch in BEFORE it ships though to cover the pallet building expense. Two separate things.
