Re: Tool crate shipping and logistics
We originally considered shipping a <400 lb robot crate via FedEx donation and a separate tool crate. The tool crate would have weighed over 300 lb and shipping cost from California (without drayage and handling charges) would have been ~$300 each way.
According to the attached FIRST shipping document, the incremental cost for shipping an overweight crate this year is $82/100 lb (or fraction thereof).
We decided to send a single, heavy crate weighing over 700 lb and probably are saving a little money. Better yet, we're only dealing with one crate and associated handling and paperwork.
