I am personally stretched pretty thin, but returning from Alaska next week and can sit down with the paperwork then... as soon as those Midwest blizzards go away and flights are operating normally.

You get a bit of snow in Kansas?

Eastern New Mexico got hammered.

Yep, my crew in Kansas is complaining a lot... I just tell them they could be the ones having to go into bush Alaska in February!

We have a shipping quote in-hand for the carriage portion. $3950 for a 40' container up to 19,500kgs... seems a little high, but not out of the ballpark.

I will get some additional quotes and we will pull the trigger with one of them. Mark will only have 3 hours to load...

Bear in mind that carriage is only going to be a portion of the total shipping costs - (maybe about 50% in this case). We must pay our share for the "war on terror", and keep all those Homeland Security folks and bureaucrats in paying jobs!

Approximately how many engines will be in this container? Knowing that will help with guessing what each engines share of the costs will be.

dieselgman · « **Reply #214 on:** March 22, 2013, 05:14:15 AM »

Just off the cuff, I believe about 20 engines. I'll update that information with a more precise number once a container size is confirmed. My best estimate is that they will each run around $500 to $700 all-in. This number has not really changed much over the entire period of my involvement. I do not remember what the original Lisenby estimates or guesses were, but it seems that they could not have been too far from this figure unless they were purely "pie-in-the-sky" numbers. I had budgeted $500 for my own original intent on including a single engine with him.

Mine was about $1000 when I had it shipped, if I remember right. That included having it delivered from the Port of Houston to the Victoria Regional Airport.

Does anyone have any updates to add?

dieselgman · « **Reply #217 on:** May 24, 2013, 12:46:40 AM »

We currently have quotes around $4,000 for delivery... I am thinking we will accept one of them and pull the trigger.

As I understand it, Gary isn't making a dime off of the shipping costs. Lowering your cost per engine would only shift it to those with less engines.....
