Also probably the reason why delivery prices didn't immediately go up when
they jumped 25 cents.  If people expect businesses to change their prices
everytime gasoline prices fluctuate they're crazy.

Prices should be lower than that given the level of fuel stocks, (two
year high).  But the marketplace is no longer driven solely by
availability vs. demand.

I wonder why the delivery services (UPS, FedEx, etc) haven't gone back down
on their prices...gas prices around here have dropped from $3.09 a gallon
down to $2.75 per gallon. Noticed this past weekend in Austin TX that you
could buy gas for $2.66.

As we have discovered this summer, freight prices have sky-rocketed. Allen
had the same problem getting his frame shipped from Houston, making it
unfeasable. Recently, I had to notify a buyer in CA that the hood he bought
from me will cost $125.00 + crating to transport. I used to ship them for
about $80.00 via Overnite Transp., but they have been gobbled up by UPS, and
high fuel prices are causing all of the carriers to go up.

You should try to get it to Omaha, and then swap it with someone who is
returning to California from Omaha...

HELP!

I bought a 37 coupe express bed that had been turned into a trailer. It
is in Indiana and now that I have the thing paid for, I am finding that
I can not get it shipped to California (San Francisco area) for under
3X what I paid for it.

The seller was very generous and let me keep it at his place while I
tried to sort out shipping, but alas, he has asked me to pick it up or
get someone to ship it out of his shop.

It is in real decent shape, no tailgate, and I am not sure if there are
fenders. It is sitting on a frame with wheels so the rear end might be
an intact CE rear end.

I need to have someone help me organize shipping or if that fails, I
will sell it to anyone who wants to go get it. It is in the northern
part of the state, in Wheatfield,In.46392.

I paid $450 for it. Will sell it for that much or will pay to have it
shipped, but the lowest shipping cost I was quoted was over $1100.

Thanks for your help!
