Hi Kavya,

How are you going to use this information? The brochures are not confidential, as we distribute these to customers. The freight estimate is simply that, a price estimate. That is not confidential

either.

Kavya,

To ship the lot of mixers below would require one flatbed, a nd a freight estimate is $3,000 for one truck (lot of mixers).

Hi Chris,

Thanks again for your help. I have one more question for you. Can you give me either the weights of the mixers or the cost of shipping a mixer 500 miles? Or would that cost already be included in the prices of the mixer you gave me over the pho ne? Any rough numbers you could give me would be great.

Thanks again!
