Shipping cost?!?
 
Just curious, The last jet I ordered was an F-18c Chippy ho! from SM/EJ, This was in July of 2010. Shipping was $250. I was recently quoted $450 for shipping for an F18F from Extreme jets. I have been out of jets for 2011. Did something happen I am not aware of?

Thanks, Pete

Increasing crude oil prices made shipping cost jump across the board.

How the heck are they shipping?? YES... shipping is up... but I shipped a JetSki engine to the west coast, and it was only $70. (almost 100#)

Shipping for Chineese ARF's is by air, not truck (unless you are willing to wait 6 months or more for a container to come over by ship from the company you're purchasing from). Furthermore, the size of an airplane kit is so large that you get charged on "dimensional weight" vs. the actual weight. I shipped a BVM Mig kit to the UK several months ago, and the shipping charge from UPS was over $800 - and UPS was the only company I (as an individual, not a company) could find to do it. The package was so large that I got charged for 250 lbs even though it only weighed 35 lbs...

Actualy the shiping cost was the same always.

SkyMaster was paying part of shiping cost from there profit that time.Thats why it looked cheaper few years ago.
