You pray to god it gets there in 1 piece. I have heard quite a bit of bad things about their shipping quality. Also i've seen the lot that they park their vans in, most of them are heavily dented and abused looking

Well, I haven't shipped anything thru them but have received packages. I could only tell you that they have the worst customer service. On one incident, they left my package outside of the gate of my apartment complex and it got stolen. Try calling their customer service line, very rude agents.

YEAH he still paid it!!! Thats insane huh? The dude said he needed the parts today at his door step b4 the 10th so he guy could build his motor b4 he left. I don't know I did my deed and went out of the way for him. I got paid either way. But im a good a guy i just want to find the cheapest way to ship stuff for my customers. DHL are there prices pretty good in shipping tranny's?
