SHIPPING PROGRAM WITH FEDEX AND UPS FREIGHT
We work almost exclusively with FedEx and UPS freight for the shipment of our motors and powerheads. We can handle both your inbound and freight shipments through our discount program (which is 80% to 90% off their standard rates – discount is dependent on your region) and pass the savings on to you. Both Economy and priority shipments are available. Priority shipments tend to cost approximately 20% more and usually save you 1 day shipping time.
When preparing to send your unit in for repair or core exchange, contact us with your pick-up information, including NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER AND AN EMAIL ADDRESS (to send shipment paperwork)…as well as if the pick-up is at a business or residence and whether a lift-gate is needed to load. We will provide you with the necessary paperwork to ensure Blackbird Motors is billed for the shipment so we can pass OUR savings on to YOU!
