Box blade questions

[rozett]

I bought it during an internet special and only paid $50 for shipping. Actually, I bought a PHD at the same time and they charged me another $50 for shipping that. The truck driver said that Corriher paid the majority of the shipping charge. So I am not sure how much the shipping would be now (their Ebay auctions specify that buyer pays all shipping). But I am sure that they can give you a pretty good estimate.

The quotes for shipping others have posted are in the correct range. I purchased a boxblade, a rear tilt/angle blade as well as a toothbar so my shipping was a combined figure. I also ordered a 20 series boxblade and was offered and received the heavy duty 30 series for the same price. I believe TC 35 mentioned that Brandon has left. That is correct. I have been dealing with Steve lately.

One other side story - when I ordered my toothbar, I was shipped the wrong size. I can't remember if I gave the wrong figure on bucket width or if Brandon wrote it down wrong but the bottom line was it was too wide. Corriher could have blamed me for the error as it could have been my fault (I'm just not sure as I ordered multiple items) and I probably would have accepted the blame. Instead, they let me ship it back, they ordered me the correct size and shipped it to me. They paid for all of the shipping (both ways) and got me the right toothbar at no additional charge. You won't find anyone who will work harder to make you happy and make everything right.

I spoke with Corriher today. They are quoting $396 for their BB20-72, which is reasonable. However, $130 for freight to Manchester, NH (loading dock delivery) is seems high. How long ago did you guys take delivery of your equipment?

I was kinda quoting what was said on eBay. I guess things might have changed. MB was quoting me $500 for the Woods 48 box blade. I live in the Manchester area, if you want to checkout my smaller one from Corriher.

I had a Midwest rear blade (RB22-60) delivered from Corriher to the Yellow Freight terminal in Manchester, NH two weeks ago, freight charge was $92. The total cost was $387. It is a very nice product. My local dealer wanted $350 for a lower quality rear blade.

Sounds like a lot of folks from NH are considering getting attachments from elsewhere. I paid a very high (non-negotiable) local price for my tractor in order to have local warranty service (which has been needed), but I don't think this is necessary for most implements.

I purchased from Corriher in June ... I think. I bought through Ebay and they had a fixed shipping fee of $ 50.00 to anywhere east of the Mippississippippissipi ( ? sp /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif ). I know it was a loss for them, and I would suspect it was part of their business building plan.

I just recently inquired about a LR20-96 ( 8' landscape rake ) and freight was quoted at $ 93 for a commercial drop ( terminal or business ). That's still pretty cheap in my opinion, but since the rake was just on my 'things I'd like list' not my 'things I need list' I figure I'll wait a while.

I know it's been suggested before ( co-op purchasing ), but someone should talk to them about doing a regional ship, holding orders and grouping them to a regional drop / terminal to save some bucks. Driving an hour may not be bad to get the shipping down to maybe $ 20-$25 per item. Make sense ???

$130 to Manchester NH is not all that out of line. I got a BB20-60 Midwest box scraper from CCM and paid $130 delivered to a commercial loading dock in Amherst just down the road from you.

geez with all the posts from NH I just had to chime in and say Hi there!

Me too! I lived in Londonderry for 25, but it just got too crowded. So we moved further north and bought a lot more land.

Shipping costs into the northeast are the highest in the country. I've never heard a good explaination for this, but it's the case. I think $130 freight for a 550 pound implement isn't too bad. I paid $1000 to have my tractor (3500#) into NH from Alabama.

I had mine delivered to Manchester (it was actually just over the line into Bedford) about the second week of September. Don't hold me to it, but I believe my shipping was $75 for a BB 30-60 (541 lbs), and $75 for an RB 22-60 and another $30 for the toothbar.
