Ship engines, transmissions and auto parts

Vehicle parts questions
Is a used engine hazardous material?
A drained, clean engine usually ships as regular freight. Batteries, fuel and some fluids can be regulated as hazardous materials, so remove them or mark the shipment hazardous and describe it.
Do I need a pallet?
For engines and transmissions, yes; it lets the unit be lifted by forklift or pallet jack. Smaller parts can ship boxed.
What freight class will my parts be?
Class depends mostly on density: weight divided by cubic feet. Use the freight class calculator for an estimate; carriers confirm it in their bid.
When is the carrier paid?
You pay the accepted bid plus the 10% AllShip service fee, and Stripe holds it in escrow. The carrier is paid after you confirm delivery, or automatically 72 hours after delivery if you have not opened a dispute.
