SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS

The best procedure for shipping motors we have found is through UPS. We recommend most single cylinder two stroke motors be shipped in 20 gallon Rubbermaid Rough Tote containers. Banshees and four stroke motors fit best in 22 gallon Rubbermaid Rough totes. Rubbermaid totes are available at Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Lowe’s type stores. They usually run less than 10 dollars.

You do not need to phone us to let us know a motor is coming. We like to have you phone us late the day we receive the motor or the following day. That way you know we received it and we can go over the details of what work you need performed. We do not call you, we end up wasting too much time trying to find people that may be at work or whatever, we're here so call us when you know we have it.

We recommend putting four layers of cardboard down. Put a layer of plywood or pine down next, make sure the wood is much smaller than the bottom of the tote. We don’t want the wood to get against the plastic and cut the tote open. Then add four more layers of cardboard. Drop in the motor.  Pack a lot of cardboard around the sides and top of the motor. We recommend that you zip tie a label with your name and address to the motor itself, so that it would be returned in the event of UPS damaged or lost the container. Make sure that all fluids are drained from the motor and carb., if that is being shipped. Put the lid on the container. Drill 1/4 “holes every 4 to 6 inches around the lid use plastic zip ties through the holes to fasten the lid for shipping.

Insure the motor. UPS charges about $7.00 per $1,000.00 worth of insurance. So it’s cheap to insure. Some of the Happy the Packy type shipping stores double the rate on the freight charge and the insurance charge, so you may find it best to take it to Fed/Ex or UPS yourself. We have had much better success on damage claims with UPS over Fed/Ex. Below we are listing some rule of thumb values on what we think a used motor is worth. If you think your motor is worth more, you know what to do.
