Classic Industries and AMD

Shipping is not that simple. As a business owner the last few years have been nuts for shipping parts for machines. It used to be based on size and weight. Now they factor in a few more items. Hydraulic cylinders, I for years paid $130-$160 for a set to be shipped via truck freight is now over $300 roughly weighing 425lbs for the set. With the loss of one of the big carriers to bankruptcy, shipping is off the charts.
Plus add in fuel cost. I used to get a large piece of loading equipment made in Canada. Border and customs cost a lot more, take for ever to receive. Trucks now are filling their trailer before they leave the depot. They drive to the next Depot and the trailer sits and waits before it is filled again for the next depot. This now went from a 4days from Mexico to 15 days.

My point is the cost to move items as small as a box of bolts has gone up and every time it is touched it costs. Even Summit is paying- there is no real “free shipping” anylonger. It’s built into the price.
