Chuck backplate and UPS

[RogerP]

Want a backplate for my lathe with oddball M39 4 nose thread - found one in US for $26.

Only problem is they want $126 UPS shipping! :shock:

Forget it.

Ask them if they will ship it by mail (USPS) rather than the private courier (UPS, FedEx, etc.). A flat rate box out of their country should be a quarter or less than what you were quoted.

I tried that, they will only ship as stated.

I've just found another US company that has a similar item who will ship by USPS and total including the shipping is $58.

Much better

Glad you found a solution.
