Freight shipping?

[Rox&Mud]

I need to ship 14 used printers to a buyer but he wants them on a pallet for FedEx freight to pick up.
Does anyone know where in the Raleigh area I can have these put on a pallet and prepared for FedEx to come pick them up?

The FedEx service center is on Atlantic Avenue, just north of New Hope Church Road.

Thanks, but unless I'm missing it they only deal w/packages on Atlantic not freight.

Won't they pick up from you?

 

[Rox&Mud]

Yes, they will. I need them put on a pallet and shrink wrapped or what ever they need to do to secure them to the pallet for shipping. I also don't have a shipping dock which may or may not be a problem for them.

To be honest if I were you I'd just get the pallet and wrap them yourself. I don't think FedEx does any "prep work", b/c that implies liability for damage etc. Normally they want to just take the package and go.

When you make the pick-up arrangements, tell them it's a pallet ready to go. they'll bring a truck w/ a Tommy gate and a pallet jack.

I would look on craigslist for pallets, alot of people give them away. I have one in Hillsborough I can give you if you would like to drive that far. Get some saran wrap to wrap around them.
