\"Overnighting<\/a>If you have recently tried to overnight something that’s anywhere from 5 to 10lbs you would have realized the prices have really skyrocketed over the years. \u00a0I have customers that want to overnight something ‘whatever the cost’ but I always make sure they know what that cost is, because typically when they hear it they decide to go another route.<\/p>\n

For example, shipping a box of 10 barricade lights (a heavier version than a standard light, but still not a huge difference) overnight from Illinois to California was just quoted to me at $450. \u00a0Yes, that’s almost $500 for 10 lights.<\/p>\n

Some other examples – 5 solar barricade lights<\/a>\u00a0overnight-ed from California to Texas was $115. \u00a016 lights from Texas to Montana was $244 and\u00a05 small airport lights from California to Oklahoma was $99.<\/p>\n

Now once we get into products that are a little less ‘box friendly’ with bigger dimensions and awkward shapes things start to really spike up in price. \u00a0How about 8 stack-able ultra panels (without bases) going from California to North Carolina for $378 at 3rd Day Select? \u00a0Keep in mind that’s not overnight, or 2 day, that’s a 3 day shipment for $378. \u00a0And I had one customer request a quote on a type 3 plastic barricade 72″ wide, just 1 was $250 to overnight from CA to Louisiana.<\/p>\n

So please keep this in mind when you want to get something overnight-ed. \u00a0Always get the quote first before you tell them to ship as it gets very expensive very fast! \u00a0We would be happy to get a quote for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
