I agree with Charles!

Uship is great. I recently had an old ctc4 shipped up from Merridan Ms, to MIlwaukee.

The fellow who had the set wrapped the set in 2 layers of bubble wrap and then 2 layers of cardboard. The he strapped it to a standard 42 by 48 wood shipping pallet and took photos of it.

I posted my shipping requirements on u-ship and within a day or two I had a quote for $179.

Craters and Freighters is very good but woul have charged over $500 to ship it the same distance.

If you can have the shipper wrap it and strap it to a pallet, you can save a lot of money by shipping it as palletized freight. below is a link to the listing. I don't know if the link will work because I don't know if you have to be signed into my account to look at it, but give it a try anyhow.
