Colorado - Interested in Road Trip for 1000bf of Walnut, Oak, Chestnut?

Why not just have it LTL’d to CO? LTL means less than truckload, i.e. Roadway, CCX, FedEx Freight, and others, I’ve done this for work before and there rates are not that bad.

Just took a look at that auction site. Interesting. I might have to check in from time to time.

If you do buy, I would look seriously at having it shipped like barlow suggested. In addition to LTL, you should take a look at “light haul,” which is usually guys with big pickups and flatbed trailers. I got quotes both way for a shipment recently, and light haul was a little less than half the price of LTL.

Nice – that’s excellent feedback guys. There’s always a way.

I used that uShip site and received a quote for $500 for the oak slabs.

I’ll do a google on LTL from Roadway, fedex, etc.

Danka!

I have bid on their auctions before so be prepared for all the bids to come in at the end. You can’t snipe them either. Whenever a bid is made that extends the close of the auction by 15 minutes.

Good luck though. I have had wood shipped. I just use the formula SHIPPING divided by number of board foot.
Then add that to the board foot price to get your actual price per BF.

Hey Party people,

This auction I posted about ABOVE has ended today. Great to touch base with a few of you on your interest. I want to keep this open and I’ll contact the few of you that show’d interest in wood for the next auction.

Here are the KILLER results of how CHEAP this wood auctioned off for:

This might not be regular prices for yall East of the Mississippi, but for me WOW!!! this is cheap!

I’ve looked at this site before, but never bid.
