Found boarding ladders for $35

...
I don’t know shipping till I pack the package, and I don’t do that till I have a firm order (too many people back out after finding out that the shipping (something I have NO control over) is higher than they want to pay). Mean while I have spent my time to pack an order for the shipping quote. This is time that could be spent sending orders out to serious customers instead of spending it on tire kickers....

The shipping rates change up and down almost weekly as the shipping companies adjust the fuel surcharge....

FedEx may take the ladder with nothing but a label, they delivered an exhaust system to me for a deuce a few years ago with the label only right on the pipe. I have also shipped a medium towbar that way.
Just call in the weight and size and get a quote. Few people will pay for an item without knowing the delivery charge. Just my 2 cents.

They may take the ladder bare, but there is also normaly an extra charge for unboxed or wood crated items. They feel the other freight may be damgaged.
Also with out a box if they manage to bend a tread on the ladder, they will deny the damgae claim as the item was not protected in a package.

Allright guys, I am locking this thread. It should have never really been started in the first place, as its an ad for something for sale! It has now turned into a heavy discussion about one of our advertising websites, and further more conversation that should probably be private between a seller and buyer at this point.

BTW, in the instance of this ladder... maybe you can package 1 up, to use as a base for shipping charges? That way as multiple people want a quote, you have something to work from? Its very hard to sell something if you cant tell the buyer what its gonna cost them, regardless of your control or not.
