As most of their time, store to store shipping is with partially empty trucks, Fastenal will allow you to ship something from one store to another for a very competitive price.

It will not be on a tight schedule, nor will it be very well protected, best to crate or package everything up for worst case scenario, but the price is good.

I just had the bull bar for my Disco shipped, from Illinois to NJ for just over $100. While not heavy, it was a fairly large and bulky package.

Interesting if Swank still has some amazing suspension bits when I'm functional, I may have to look into this

They are great if there is a fastenal near where you need shipped to.

I just had them ship a FSAE car that was crated at 8' x 4' x 3'. It weighed 900lbs altogether. Shipped from WV to GA for $225.

I paid the same amount to have a complete 911 engine shipped to me from WA to WV. Both shipments took about three days. Amazingly cheap and they actually seem to care your property unlike USPS and UPS.

I joined and old engines facebook group and have been seeing for some time they would "ship by Fastenal". I figured that's what they were talking about, but this confirms it.

Very good to know. We have a Fastenall literally just steps from the back door at work. Comes in handy when, say, a supplier ships your part tapped with M10x1.25 threads instead of the M10x1.5 its supposed to be to match the hardware you have and your parts are due to ship to the customer the next day. But that stuff never happens...
