All you guys need to check out the excessive shipping on these bumpers...This "Discount"
isnt really a discount, before you buy check out all the other bumper vendors shipping rates first!
I agree, this is from there site. In red is what it should be

Shipping EstimatesAverage
(One Unit on a Pallet Standard Truck Freight)
Oregon/Washington/Idaho/ Northern CA/Montana$180
Western States $225
Central States$275
East Coast$300Florida$325+

I got quoted: "$430 to your residience." Hummm Now let's look at the cost difference from the web site and the PM quote..$430 - $275 = $155 dollars diference...hummm...let's see the first price was $1522 for the bumper, the quoted price now is

"Base with Titan Guard = $1379 plus freight" ok let's add in $155 + $1,379 = $1,534 + $275 shipping, and were back to the begining again..

It's simple the shipping on your bumper to 23060
is 360.00 from texas and its 155.00 from california to 23060 for there bumper, it just seems kind of inflated when you make a comparison.
I love your bumper but cant justify the cost
The bumper would be shipping out of Oregon not Texas. All of our mfg. is in Oregon. Here is the breakdown with our LTL shipper. If they are getting it cheaper than this they are eating costs some where. This is to Virginia, west to east coast.

Business w/Dock = 290 (Requires no lift gate)
Business w/o Dock = 365 (requires lift gate = surcharge)
Residence = $460 (requires liftgate & fuel surcharge)

this is straight costs from the LTL. Where are you located again?

I really do not know what else to do here? Shadow you are making this GB very painful. The shipping estimates are our website are a business to business estimate. Shipping to a residence or a business without a dock is more expensive. The freight companies hit us with liftgate and fuel surcharges for it. I know Billy said you guys are welcome to schedule your own freight if you want to try and get it cheaper. We use Fed-Ex Freight. Shipping to AR is as follows and this is an estimate only.

Business w/Dock = 270
Business w/o Dock = 345
Residence = 430

Why is everyone wanting to make this more difficult than it is? If you guys would rather not have us try, and be a supporting vendor then let me know and I will make arrangements to take us off. I have read through multiple threads where members are saying constantly that we have the best looking bumper for the FJ thus far. We offer a LIFETIME GUARANTEE on top it. We use better materials than most. We take the time to design the guard to the lines of the FJ, and not to provide a non-asthetic look common in most competitors products. This is a unique look in form, fit, and finish and yes it is the most expensive. Because we take more steps than most. I have discounted this as much as I can, I reduced the amount of people that had to get in on the GB. Now you guys think we are screwing you on freight. We are not.

What must we do?

Palette = 100lbs 48x96in
Base Bumper = 94lbs + about 40-50lbs for the guard total = 145lbs to be safe
Hardware = give or take 5-15lbs
Packaging = about 10lbs

Total pkgd wieght about 270lbs on the high end.. It ships Class 65 with our discounts.
