Delivery tips

Does Escape provide any price reductions to piggy back with another customer on deliveries ?

thx

Yes, they did do this for mine....if you can find someone else along your route the savings would be substantial.

I don't think so, Johnny. Our 19 came down from Chilliwack with another trailer that was delivered to Las Vegas on the way to us in Maricopa, AZ.

I suspect their reasonable rates take into consideration the shared transport aspect...but you could always ask, right?

Good luck!

Of course, if you buy several you may qualify for discounts aplenty! I got the impression that they were trying to schedule mine with another one and weren't about to send out a half-loaded semi.
As several have stated: YMMV

When I answered I meant where more than one trailer is dropped off. In my case the other owners took their delivery with mine as they lived nearby.

Whatever ETI did a year ago, a week ago, or yesterday, needs to be discussed with ETI, especially now that they are under new ownership.

Very true, what happened before may not be available now...........

My wife tells me the current system does'nt provide any reductions anymore.

Do they wrap the trailers ?

They used to do that, and we had a shared delivery in 2018 and our cost for delivery was more than they charge for delivery now without.

They have a different company doing the deliveries and have better rates than they used to. I think Escape is basically combining shipments and giving everyone a better rate.

Has there been any damage or problems with deliveries ? Just asking

Exactly. I believe that pre-Covid and closed border, delivery was a relatively rare thing, and fairly expensive. With the border being closed, Escape came up with delivery rates that were unbelievable - my trailer was delivered to a spot 20 minutes away at a price that was under what it would cost me in gas to drive RT to Sumas, which is about 7 hours from my home. I haven't paid close attention, but they have now switched to delivery to designated hubs, and at a price that is higher than it was. Who knows when or how it will change again.

Speaking of tips, I provided some to our driver as a way for expressing our gratitude for safe delivery. After spending 4-5 days on the road, a nice restaurant meal vs fast food I'm sure was enjoyable.....

I have been told by ETI current delivery rates are good through the end of the year.
