Advice on shipping old tv console long distance needed

[Ray Sieracki]

Hello everone,
I am or will need some advice on getting an old B&W console across
the country and figure this is the right place to get some opinions on this subject. This set would have to be picked up , then either shipped to me or some terminal where I could pick it up. I have not done this before but hope someone has had some expierence with a shipper to pick up and safely handle this type of work. I realize that it will not be cheap, but hoping there is some economical way to do this?
Thanks , Ray
