Ok … rant time again.

When calculating freight charges – 3 dimensions AND weight are required.

Too often people will ask me for a freight rate and tell me: “1 piece 10 feet long and one piece 17 feet long … “  and that’s it.  Of course, because I’m a friendly and helpful guy, I don’t just give them my ‘Rainman’ response  ” it’s a hundred dollars, definately a hundred dollars” … although it’s tempting.

PLEASE,  remember that L (length) x W (width) x H(height) & weight are required when calculating shipping charges.
