I used Fastenal to get a transmission that I bought from Dave S. (finruskw) from Cedar Rapids Iowa to Ferndale WA a few years ago. (Thanks again Dave for prepping (palletizing and delivering the shipment, etc).

However, since then Fastenal 3PL shipping has become Blue Lane shipping and there is an East/West divide that shall not be crossed.

Anybody with recent experiences?

Location: Williams California		I tried shipping by our local Fastenal, and they said they do not offer any shipping.

This was when Covid first hit, so may have had something to do with it.

John: I just pretended to be you shipping a 200 lb transmission from Fastenal at 534 West 7th Street
Williams, CA USA 95987 to Fastenal in Ferndale WA 98248.

I thought that I would get an instant quote but all it said was "Thank you. Your form has been submitted successfully"

Oops. You might get an email from them. Just tell them that you changed your mind.

Sorry if this causes you any grief, I just wanted to see if they were going to flag this as a non-starter. But it didn't.
