i have this carbon fiber hood i sold to Shifted
hes been more than patient with me on shipping, since i had no box
but i got one, and i have the hood packaged up, but i have no way to weigh it. DHL was supposed to pick it up today, but i didnt supply a weight, so they said they wouldnt come. so i gotta reschedule for monday
basically, im wondering if anyone knows the ROUGH estimated weight of a cf hood in a box. any help is greatly appreciated
i almost drove to across town to buy a scale today, as i dont have one, lol. may do that in the morning.
ohhh. ya i remember thos things
my f/g ram air hood boxed up and wrapped weighed 8lbs.. well thats what was on teh recipte Joe i would be really careful with DHL tho.. they really @!#$ed up my ram air hood. and didnt pay the full insurance coverage on it. If i were u i would really protect those edges and corners with styrofoam and bubble wrap.. DHL has a tendecy of dropping and dragging big boxes.. no matter how much they weigh..
p.s. hope its not the turbo sport hood
^^no no its the OEM cf 03-05. the old one
i cant sell the turbosport, i love that hood. well, unless i could find a cf extractor
how much was the shipping?
dreams are useless if you do not possess the abilties required to make them your reality.

well, DHL is being ghey so i dont even know how much it will cost, and i have to be home for them to pick it up
i dont know what to do, Shifted has waited forever for me to ship this thing, and im getting really frustrated, as im sure he is. i know hes on a time scale for moving
but i do know it weighs about 35lbs, since i have about 120 sq ft of bubble wrap, and a packing blanket. i dont trust them shipping co's!!
anyone ever done pickups with these shipping co's??
Why do DHL? Why not UPS, take it in to a UPS Store... ask for the cheapest way possible, but insure it!

They can get it to him in a day or two.
cheap shipping too, only disadvantages i see is u pretty much have to meet at a appointed time to pick it up, and u have to meet in the city that has a drop off or w/e. Just click "Find a Location" and find the closest city to you and the closest city to shifted that u can drop off and he can pick up. you both might have to drive a lil bit and make sure ur there at a certain time.. but i think it was like 60 bucks when i quoted to ship a ram air hood from here to MD. Might be something to consider..
Well here i already looked up the locations

^^^body kit yes, hood, no
ive dealt with greyhound on shipping, and they are slow, and rough with the goods. my body kit was pretty banged up. good thing it was urethane.
i was told id have my body kit in 3 days, took a week and a half. big difference there when you have to call everyday to see if its arrived,
alright just trying to help out.. UPS frieght maybe? Or up for a long trip haha. both can meet in indiana.. bout center lmao.
i looked into UPS and Fedex freight. both were $250+
i got 2 day shipping thru DHL for $135
Alright, well just protect that hood like no other.
ya, i did. thats why it weighs so much. i spent $40 just to wrap the hood, lol. if they break it, they must really been trying to throw it around. i got all the edges SUPER padded
is a fish scale, lol
