JD Lumber Loads Doman Forest Prod 52' Bulkhead Flat Load #45     PUTT Version.          PUTT is a loosely used term in the lumber industry that means Paper Under (or On) Top Tier - an attempt by mills to protect unwrapped units of green lumber from rain or snow to prevent or retard the formation of mold on the lumber after the EPA drastically weakened the effectiveness of Anti-Stain Treatment Chemicals in the mid 80’s.    Mills would apply 6 mill plastic or chemically treated heavy craft paper to the top of units to be loaded on the top tier(s) of the load when they went through the bander/banding station.        This is a beautifully crafted lumber load - ready to load on your car - no cutting, gluing or assembly required - auction does NOT include car - picture shows how the load fits perfectly on a Walthers CN 52' Bulkhead Flat (British Columbia Railway also had a lot of these cars).      Will ship internationally.      As of 1/1/2018 - Washington State Residents must now add 9.4% Sales Tax on E-Bay purchases.       FOR THIS AUCTION - BUYER pays     $5.70  to  $6.15     for SHIPPING CHARGES depending on your location inside the US via the NEW USPS Ground Advantage Rate in a box used by banks to ship rolls of coin.     Shipping charges to Canada would be   $24.80   in a box    (***BE AWARE*** - best to combine two or three items to save $’s on shipping with the new higher First Class International USPS rates to Canada  AND  other points outside the US – you can ship two or three lumber loads - for example - for the price of shipping one – the minimum charge is now   $24.80   for 2 lbs to points in Canada  -  the same relative situation effects all other points outside the US).       When combining multiple auctions together to save on shipping or when shipping auctions that have 3 or more items, generally, Priority Mail is the cheapest way to go.     Generally, Priority Mail will be cheaper than UPS short shipping distances – UPS may be cheaper for shipments across country.      Charges to OTHER points outside the United States TBA.      If you have a question regarding how much shipping would be on larger orders, let me know what your shipping address is (including zip code) and I can tell you exactly what shipping will be.      I do not send out E-Bay invoices until auctions close Saturday night to make it easier to combine items for the buyer to help save $’s on shipping.     If you want an invoice sooner, send me a message requesting one.      To keep shipping costs low, I do not insure anything that I ship or charge for delivery confirmations.    If you win the auction and are concerned about loss or damage during transit, you may want to include extra for insurance if shipping via Priority Mail.    I will not be responsible for any item that gets lost or damaged in the postal "twilight zone".    You may be interested in some of my other items.    Thanks.
