Do you want me to quote you the price that DSE charged for a subframe that weighed around 375lbs in 2007, that was when diesel was cheaper. Distance was less 435 miles. The price was higher because the skid size, but not based on the weight. I was ready to pick it up, but it wouldn't fit in the back of pickup truck. DSE shipped via Conway, and there was no broken skids like the other vendors that I bought things in the past. You can ship things cheaper, but your customer will pay the price on the other end. Typically, when I sell something then I don't want any complaints on damaged parts.
