........................Now this is assuming the shipper has sense enough to remove the bar and put it in a proper sized box.

Yep.........and I'll bet they did'nt complain about AV either.:chainsawguy:He's more of a man than myself as well! I grew up with tractors and trucks... his gereration grew up with mules with plows and wagons. Makes ya think just how soft we've gotten as things become easier and easier.

.... Of course the bar poked a hole in the 1 gal jug and soaked the saw and box. It is amazing UPS delivered it. When I contacted the dealer he said that Husky required them to sell it assembled. I keep a file on my computer with pictures of all types of poor shipping .

Hi Guy`s; when I said that the better part of a hundred dollars to ship a saw this size would not be far off to ship it across country I forgot to mention it would come from the US. to Canada . I have shipped a good many saws from Washington, California, Texas and Oregon and they can cost more than a hundred landed in Nova Scotia Canada, then add brokerage fees and duty and your cost for the deal is well over $ 150.This isn't true. Go to USPS, or UPS and you can see exactly what shipping will be, and its no where NEAR $100, at least in the US. A 40 pound box from Atlanta to San Diego shipped USPS is less that $40. The UPS link wasn't working a bit ago, but I'd bet its even a little less (usually is on heavier packages). Now this is assuming the shipper has sense enough to remove the bar and put it in a proper sized box.
My father used the exact model DB to clear many acres of timber in the 50s and the saw still runs today (needs a bar and chain though). These saws certainly have their place in the history book and can be fun for an occasional running, but as plentiful as they are, I can't see any in reasonable condition selling for over $50. Just my $0.02.

I asked the guy if that was some kind of joke. Pissed him off real good I guess. He blocked me from bidding, and communication. Like I would bid on it anyway.
Well, I sent the guy an email too - "Where did you ever get the 100.00 shipping price? I could send this saw anywhere in the usa for 40.00 or less ups ground. This is just a tip, weigh the saw & box, don't guess at it. Then use the shipping calculator ebay provides, it won't be near 100.00 unless you're adding 60.00 for a "packing fee" " He'll probably block me too, how sad. He must think he has the holy grail of chainsaws there.
