Shipping

Note: You can drop off your transmission to me in Concord, NC, I will unload your transmission - no worries. 

Also, you can save on shipping via a shipper if you are able to deliver and pickup your pallet at a local hub.  With every customer estimate our shipping broker contact info is provided so that you can easily get a quote. 

If shipping, all you will need is a good pallet and ratchet straps with a well drained transmission.   Just email our shipping broker, they will walk you through the process.  I am locating in Concord, NC 28027 (near Charlotte).  

NOTE: I PROVIDE ACCESS TO PARTS AT JOBBER COST.  THIS HELPS OFFSET THE COST OF SHIPPING.

GET A GOOD PALLET!  If shipping on a pallet, look for used GOOD CONDITION pallet locally.  If it needs tightening, run some screws in where it is weak / loose (be sure to ask before taking a company's pallet, sometimes they may have better pallets inside they are willing to give you).

DRAIN THE PAN AND TORUS!  Just ratchet strap the transmission to a suitable pallet. Screw some 2x4 around pan perimeter so load cannot shift off pallet if straps loosen.  Or purchase a crate from U-Line that ships the disassembled crate to your door.  All you need to do is assemble crate, secure transmission to crate floor, and close it up.  We will ship your item back in your crate or pallet.  If you are planning to drop it off yourself and would like to use a shipper to return it, just let me know.

You must include Lift Gate Service and prepay all freight charges (or customs fees if International).  Be sure to fully drain the unit.  Remove loose items like dip sticks and dip stick tubes.  If you include small items, be sure to package or box and secure to the pallet or transmission.  Tie the transmission to the pallet with sufficient strapping (use ratchet straps if you do not have shipping straps and strap tools).  More strapping is better.

We always send photos of what we receive.  We will return your unit either on your pallet or your crate (if still useable).  If you want a return shipping crate used, then simply order one and have it drop shipped to my location.   

Let us know if you have questions.  I look forward to rebuilding your Hydramatic.
