Quick answer
All engines and transmissions ship via LTL/truck freight. Standard continental US rates: $299 commercial · $399 residential/liftgate. Remote ZIPs may cost more. We may offer terminal pickup when available to reduce residential freight.

Terminal pickup (when offered)
To save on residential delivery, we may arrange pickup at a freight terminal near you when the carrier and route allow it. Contact us before your order ships if you want to explore terminal pickup.
Delivery requirements
- Carrier will call to schedule a delivery window
- Signature required — someone 18+ must be present
- Liftgate included on residential deliveries when quoted
- Inspect before signing the delivery receipt
Freight damage at delivery
1. Inspect crate, pallet, POD, and visible surfaces before you sign 2. Take photos of clear transit damage (cracked block/case, crush damage, leak from impact, broken crate — not dirt or normal used cosmetic wear alone) 3. Contact us immediately with order number and photos
Do not refuse delivery because a used unit looks dirty or POD packaging is scuffed while the part appears intact — you may be responsible for redelivery costs.

Can I pick up at a terminal instead of home delivery?
Sometimes — ask before ship. When available, terminal pickup can reduce residential freight cost.
What if the POD box is damaged but the transmission looks fine?
POD shells are durable shipping containers. Scuffed exterior packaging alone is not a reason to refuse delivery. Photograph clear impact damage and contact us.
