I can't believe there is a worse pipe whore on this board than Barry! Let me look for a box big enough. The set I shipped to Kansas was only three pipes and UPS charged me $77.00, I don't know if you want to pay to ship all these pipes, the street pipes are heavy, it will have to be broken down into at least three boxes, are you sure you want to pay that much for ugly old pipes?

I just shipped a set of stock exhaust UPS to a friend in SCarolina for 38.00 :o ,,,,,,, but these pipes are by no means nice so wrap them in cardboard and tape the sets together to compact the final box dimensions......that seems to cut down on final shipping price, at UPS anyhow i dont know about FedEx. how many sets are we talking here and is there sets to pick from? is the picture of pipe sets current or have you gotten rid of some since that photo was taken? thanks bill

Sounds like Metric cleaned out your inventory!

Sent this before I was done writing it. Could use a set of stingers for an H-2, that is if Metric doesn't want every last one. Is USPS any better than UPS on shipping costs? They have been trying to be pretty competitive recently.

I'm waiting to hear back from Bill, at first i thought the description was one set of stingers and 2 sets of street wirges pipes. but the picture is telling a different story, i dont know how many stingers he still has? and UPS i feel is better equipped to handle larger packages in a timely manner that is. USPS is great for smaller boxes and such both are fighting to stay on top of competitive pricing though it seems Xsky

Not a recommendation, but I've shipped quite a few sets of chambers, some as far as California, by Parcel Post, and it's at least as fast and cheaper than FedEx. UPS is the most expensive. I have not shipped any by Parcel Post since the recent rate increase, so I can't say how much cheaper it is now, but I bet it's still cheaper.
