Shipping Question for those in the know

[diagrah]

How would one go about shipping a Hoover Twin Tub? I have a buyer interested in mine but she is in Arizona and I am in Missouri.

Can anyone tell me a good way to do this? The buyer would pay for shipping but I would have to do the arrangements on my end and I simply don't have a clue how to manage it.

Thanks for any insight offered!

One option is U-Ship. The buyer would post the information and basically accept bids from shippers. I've had pretty good results using this method and been surprised at how low some shippers will go to get the work. If the buyer isn't happy with any of the bids they aren't obligated to accept them. The buyer also decides the degree to which the item should be protected/packed.

Thank you. I will forward the information to her and let her decide. She hasn't bid on it yet, so it will help her choose whether to go forward with it or not. She has a few days before the auction ends.

Thanks again,

Another option....

Is HomeDirectUSA. I have not used them myself, but I believe other members have and they have had nothing but good things to say. I was amazed at how reasonable they are when I was looking for estimates to get a refrigerator from Minnesota to Vermont!

I used homedirect to ship my wonderful kenmore 800(It looks like a ladyk dammit)from Revvinkevin in CA to my home in Mass. for $325.How can you beat that?!It also arrived non-wrecked another plus.
Cant say enough good things about those folks.

U Ship

2nd to all that Lawrence said. I'm also in Missouri and have used U ship as a buyer to have multiple items delivered to me from as far away as Oregon. Great results in each of 3 different occasions.

Thanks! I've sent the potential buyer both of the links/sites to check out. I do hope she can arrange it. I am moving to a smaller house and won't have room for either of my twin tubs. Getting old...need to downsize.

So far, nobody has shown much interest in my poor little Maytag and it's really a cute little thing!

Property Packed/Crated Hoover TT's Can Ship Via UPS

Ours is the exact same model as the one shown above and that is how it came to us.

Best to remove the wheels so they don't poke through the box. Also make sure to use a professional crate or shipping container. Uline sells these in all sizes and are easily assembled.

If using UPS make sure to insure the shipment to cover at least the purchase price if it exceeds $100 USD.
