Has anybody had any experince and what is all involved to ship a turbine from here to purto rico?
Cost , any other hassles? or first hand experince,
Thanks in advance..................JOHN

John,
I don't know about puerto rico, but I just UPSed one back to Thailand and it cost $117. You can just go to your UPS package store and they have all the forms.

Sounds like a hassle , it is a turbine that i have sold and the coustomer lives in Purto Rico.
So i am concerend on the hassle of making a sale so far away.
Thanks for the Reply....................JOHN

Don't be concerned, Just make sure you have it packed professionally and you will not have any problems. I've shipped jets all over the world with no problems (one bad with Fed-Ex, but settled) so a Turbine is very unlikely to get damaged. Have your buyer pay the extra $10.00or $20.00 to insure it for the full amount and you'll be just fine.



Just my $0.02

John,
What your zip code? I will found out the price for you. I sent planes to Purto Rico a few times.

zip code is 65802
Insurance for $3000
Thanks!...........JOHN

I been in the cargo business for quiet a while...and had send turbines from down here to CA, about your same trip.
I do not consider the original jetcat packing quiet adequate. Instead I wrap the turbine with 1.5" cushion mat like the ones use to make sofas....about 2 laps or whatever it takes to avoid the turbine going loose in the box.
Then some tape to avoid unwrapping.
The width is about 4 inches larger in each side of the turbine.
I always use DHL...and the cost of shipping a ~12 pounds volume/weight box is around US$60 from here to CA. Insurance never exceed the 1% of the value insured.
Good luck

John,

It's about $54.5 by UPS. I believe FedEx or DHL will about the same price range. Hope this help.

Thanks to all that replied ,
I have decided it is too much of a hassle and risk that at this time i do not want to undertake.
Will keep all shipping to the lower 48 at this time.
Thanks...................JOHN

John, I live in puerto rico and sold a p-120 to a guy in the states. The shipping was $60 insured for $3200. Turbine was shipped in the original box and the customer recive it in perfect condition. (UPS)

John:

Hi, it's me who wanted to buy the turbine from you, while I understand your concern because of not having any past experience shipping to PR, I can tell you you risk nothing at all. PR is a US territory, mail service is provided by the United States Postal Service and all federal laws and regulations regarding mail fraud protect you and myself, Avicom can confirm that. Actually using priority mail to ship this turbine would cost the same to shipping your turbine from springfield to Joplin MO!!, or Kansas City, Little rock or Dallas(I have known a lot of people in the past who live in the NW Arkansas region, Kansas city and south MO) I don't frequent much RCU because I mostly fly big EDF's (you can check my trader rating on ezone) and I'm moving from electrics to turbines. If you still like to sell your turbine I still have the USPS MO's with your name and address.

Let me know
