Crating and Freighting

Gotta tell you, getting something from out of state can empty your wallet. For the 1959 Frigidaire CI stove, I was charged $202.00 for crating. However, my husband's company was able to get us a discount on freight from Ohio to Texas. That ended up costing $180.00. This was not cheap, but at least we got something shaved off of the freight cost. I frankly don't see us purchasing something from out of state unless it is so special that money is no object (LOL).

I've paid well over $1K on 3 different occasions for the machine and the shipping. It's kinda our version of the Mile High Club...

OH to TX

$180? I think that's a pretty good rate for something so big and heavy as a range. And funny how it turns out it was more expensive to CRATE it than to SHIP it. I wonder what stores are charged for shipping appliances to them? I imagine they get a "deal", but curious as to how much of a deal.

Maytag charges $75.00 single lot. 12+ is freight free.
