Last night I bought a AX15 transmission from a Jeep Cherokee on Ebay. I may have overlooked somthing but I tought the seller offered shipping in USA. I won the bidding, but no shipping company to ship it for me It needs to be shipped from Memphis Tennessee to Linden New Jersey. Can anybody recomend recommend a shipping company for me?
Any truck freight company can handle it. It will be cheaper to ship if both the pickup and drop off point have a truck height dock, otherwise you will have to pay extra for lift gate service. The seller will need to securely strap it to a pallet. I have used Old Dominion for shipping a few large items and all went well.
I would contact Norusonline in Smyrna TN. Alec is a Norwegian and ships directly to Norway. .............................. Taildragger&fenderless
Try Greyhound. A trans like that will ship from any bus depot in the country to any other bus depot for about 60 bucks. I had a T5 shipped that way a couple years ago....no problem.
Careful with Greyhound! They have a ceiling weight, (70 lbs? Around there, but I shipped an 85 lb. '53 Ford Trans w/O.D., and it got 'lost' somewhere between Calif and New Mexico. They paid the insurance claim, (2 months later!) but told me they weren't technically liable, as the crated trans weighed more than what they were supposed to ship! (but they shipped it...) It was never found, at least by whomever was looking. Methinks there was a rat in the 'dog pen'.
