Hi guys, always found this forum useful. I have a query regarding shipping. I want to ship rebars/bumpers. The problem I'm facing with shipping companies is oversized parts and some time crazy quotes from them. Can anyone suggest a cheaper way to ship from Ontario to other provinces.
Thanks in advance

BendPak has opened a new 90,000-square-foot building on its Alabama campus, nearly doubling the size of its East Coast logistics and distribution center.
The expansion has enabled the company to dramatically increase its inventory capacity and call-center staffing to provide faster order processing and shorter lead times for customers in the eastern half of the United States, according to Santa Paula, California-based BendPak.
Shortly after establishing its original 100,000-square-foot Alabama facility in early 2020, BendPak bought the adjoining property and began work on the new building. The state-of-the-art facility features warehouse space, multiple docks, covered flatbed staging and loading areas, administrative offices and a call center.
“Opening this new facility is part of our ongoing efforts to maximize product availability while minimizing time-in-transit to customers across the United States,” said Rudy Diaz, BendPak chief operating officer. “It’s fully stocked with the most popular lifts and shop equipment from across our brand lineup, including BendPak, Ranger, QuickJack, Cool Boss and Dannmar, all supported by a dedicated team of local employees.”
The distribution center is strategically located in the heart of one of America’s largest logistic hubs in Mobile County, Alabama. With easy access to three major interstates and five Class I railroads, it offers next-day or two-day delivery to a large portion of BendPak’s customer base in the eastern United States. BendPak’s California operation handles shipping and order fulfillment services for some 15 western states.

The warehouse and logistics buildings are equipped with 15 loading docks, multiple drive-in doors, 24/7 secured access, ceiling heights of up to 20 feet clear and onsite surface parking.
Ideal Queens is situated on a major thoroughfare with accessibility to local routes as well as interstate highways. For a convenient commute, employees enjoy proximity to Jamaica Station, serviced by the E, J, M and Z subway lines and the Long Island Railroad.
“Arch Auto Parts is a perfect fit for Ideal Queens,” said Adam Altman, Founder and Managing Partner of KABR. “We are excited to be a part of their continued growth.”
The new owners have commenced a comprehensive renovation. This modernization project will transform the building into a Class A industrial center by improving the buildings infrastructure and tenant experience.
The improvements include a complete exterior restoration of the building façade, including replacing original windows, installation of brand-new automatic freight and passenger elevators, complete bathroom remodeling and upgrading of loading docks with full dock packages.
“The ongoing project will continue to transform the asset into a best-in-class multi-story light industrial, manufacturing, warehouse and distribution facility in a highly supply-constrained New York City consumer market,” Arch Auto Parts added in a news release.
Leasing opportunities are available with the ability to accommodate a variety of industries looking for 1,000 to 200,000 RSF within minutes of Manhattan.
