[TowerTalk] freight cost of tower part

[K6YE - TOMMY]

Hans,

When I moved from California to Colorado ten years ago, I purchased a Hy-Gain tower base, direct. It cost $299.00 and the shipping was $300.00. When I return to California, I will buy the steel and re-bar, transport to a competent welder and have a base made using the tower as a jig. The cost will be less than $299.00 but even so, it beats $600.00.

Semper Fi,

I found out today that Fedex want ~$400 to ship a Rohn 25 part. Knowing that I can buy that for ~$120 I found that unreasonable to say the least.


Does anyone have any suggestion how to arrange a shipping for a reasonable cost?
