I ordered flooring from Baird Brothers in , OH near Youngstown. Fedex freight charge for 1 qt of water based stain was over $30. I questioned Baird on this, but got no where. My experience with them was excellent, but this seems weird to me.
I worked in the Industrial market, Mechanical Power Transmission, and was Purchasing Manager and Product Manager last 10 years. Worked closely with our warehouses. We had to have a certificate to ship aerosols (since they would often go on a flight) since they were petroleum based and under pressure, but we could and rates were in line with normal UPS/Fedex ground shipping.
I for the life of me can't figure out why this would cost so much to ship?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
