How's the new gig??
Smokey_Joe said:What's the biggest you/they ship? Will they ship vehicles?
Uncle Bubba said:My shipping for my first Klose was around $450ish I think...and they dropped it off in front of my house...literally. Don't you remember this story??? They also destroyed a neighbors tree that was hanging low over the street. Residential deliveries probably present a whole new set of problems for shippers. Hey, you may not get business from it but you might get educated to help you elsewhere...depending upon your retention rate. Did you talk to Dana? You know she's Dave's sister.
Greg Rempe said:Well, at the info Bubba gave me I decided to spend some of the day yesterday exploring the bbq pit world and the potential for business there. Well, it does not seem good.
The biggest hang up is the "straight truck with lift gate" that is very hard for us to secure...and it is also very expensive. If they were going from Klose to "X" warehouse where there was a dock and a way to unload then this would be a whole different deal...but that isn't the way it works. You order a pit and it comes to your house via truck with gate to get it off the truck.
Just for my knowledge...if any of you have had a pit delivered to your house, how much was shipping and how did it show up to your house.
Thanks!!
