[QUOTE="Blown 89, post: 16671106, member: 45161"] Logistics is a large part of my job so here's my take: If you use LTL (Less Than Truckload) you need to get it on a pallet and weigh it to know what shipping will cost. There are a bunch of shipping brokers that act like priceline that you'll want to price it through. Which carrier is cheaper will depend on the shipping lanes you're using. YRC's general quote is usually the most competitive if you don't have accounts anywhere. Given the state of LTL right now you're probably best off making a box and shipping it through FedEx or UPS. I don't ship things of that size through FedEx so so take that with a grain of salt. It's generally easier for individuals to get good rates through them. If you know someone with a FedEx account utilize it. I would offer my accounts but I'm not interested in taking on the liability. If you want some help navigating the options I'd be happy to help.
