I shipped a quarter of a pallet we cut down with a chain saw. I only used 1/4 of the pallet to ship a transmission on. cost me like 110$ to ship at my local usps store lol

I have done a few in the recent past, and you used freightcenter.com. Very easy to use and work with.

Rory, The only issue I had was the increased charge for a "drop gate". I bought a big air compressor, built forks for my backhoe for half a day and he showed up with a lift gate, :lol:

Wasted my time and the guy was great about. I'm thinking ESTES was the shipper?

Anyhow, some of the guys had mentioned about people bidding on the shipping charge; IDK what the whole deal was though......

www.uship.com (http://www.uship.com) might be an option. Never used them yet myself.
