I usually use FedEx because they seem to be the cheapest method of shipping these parts and they have a
drop-off location close to me. Due to the large size of most foam cores, shipping varies considerably
depending on where it is going. I don’t make a profit on shipping so I will charge you whatever FedEx charges
me. If you decide you live close enough to come by and pick up the wings yourself, that’s fine too. Just keep in
mind that I will have to charge Utah sales tax if you make a local pick-up.
I can now ship with Delta Air Lines. If you live close enough to a Delta main line base and can go to airport to pick up the cost of shipping is uasally half of Fedex or UPS cost. If this is a option for you contact me.
I get a lot of questions about box sizes so here they are:
Long-EZ, Cozy lll or IV, Berkut, and E-Racer wings:
4 boxes 57″ x 15″ x 15″ weighing approx. 16 Ibs apiece
2boxes 40″ x 15″ x 15″ weighing approx. 13 Ibs apiece
1 box 60″ x 18″ x 8″ weighing approx. 14 Ibs
The canard for all above aircraft is 1 additional box measuring 57″ x 13″ x 10″ and weighing approx. 12 Ibs
Note that I have specifically designed each of these boxes to not only do a great job containing and protecting the foam parts but also to be sized under the oversize limits for FedEx or UPS. This alone will amount to a substantial savings over buying blocks of foam in the sizes called for in the plans from other vendors where 10 out of the 14 blocks will be charged oversized fees.
International Shipping:
I usually use a sea freight company for overseas shipping. There is no automatic calculator for these options
so contact me for an estimate.
For overseas shipping the cores should to be crated for protection and to make sure you don’t lose a portion of them. Most countries require an ISPM 15 crate which is approximately $300 so expect this to be added to the shipping costs.
A crate for a Long-EZ, Cozy lll, Berkut or E-Racer measures 60″ x 40″ x 39.25″ and weighs about 200 Ibs. A
Cozy IV crate should be about 60″ x 40″ x 44″ and weigh about 200 Ibs.
I am working on getting my international know shipper to ship on Delta Air Lines. I am hoping that will reduce the cost of International shipping. I will up date when the paper work is complete
