looking to ask everyone who's purchased either sliders or a front or rear tube bumper what your shipping costs were, how much it adds to the cost of the part...

 

TJM-T17 Front Bumper - Shipping (though not sure of EXACT departure point), 375 miles, 4x4connection - VA to OH (commercial address) = $105

Bumper = $447.12
Shipping = $105.76
Total = $552.88

 

Your shipping costs are usually going to depend on the point of origin and the destination.
But to give you a ball park figure the Sliders I ordered shipped to Oregon from Alabama were $55 to ship (that was july '07). My ARB bumper (about 125 lbs) for my '05 shipping was $125 from Texas...

 

Yeah my rear bumper from Allpro was about $125 shipping, but my sliders from Trail Gear had free shipping.

 

thanks for the replies.
just trying to get an idea of the final cost people are willing to pay for these items, as i am toying with the idea of producing these for sale to people who are local and wouldn't need to pay shipping. i know it's tough to beat the price on TG's sliders, but when you add shipping it ends up costing more in the end

 

anyone else?

 

If you can get together with several locals and order from TG, the free shipping is awsome.

We bought the front and rear lifts from them. Came in 9 boxes. FREE

We had a rear E-locker axle assy shipped from TX to WA for $200

Used smitty bumper cost $50 to ship from CA to WA

 

I'm guessing most people pay between $75 and $100 to the price of their bumpers or sliders for shipping. what would you pay for a winch bumper like this including shipping, or max you'd pay if you could pick it up
