CPT ships transmissions worldwide. We use UPS Freight for shipments in and out domestically. We recommend that you contact us first and we can arrange shipping to us, using our UPS Freight account.

This will save you a substantial amount of money. UPS Freight will need to pick up and drop off at a business address. The following instructions need to be followed to build a shipping container. Not following these instructions will lead to additional freight charges. CPT will not accept responsibility for any transmissions sent via any carrier other than UPS Freight, nor will we accept responsibility for any transmission damaged due to improper shipping.

Information you will need for shipping paperwork:
The package weight is 150# when packaged as directed.
The box dimensions are 36" x 17" x 20" when using our shipping guidelines.

If a core is purchased and CPT is responsible for supplying the shipping container, A $50 "packaging" fee will be added.
