What is a good way to ship a quarter pusher to someone?
 
ABF freight said I had to build a crate or some stupid shit
Everyone else wants way too much
Greyhound has a 150lb limit and it's 20-50lbs over that (think I could sneak it by??)

So build a crate, it doesn't cost much

Ahhh, you finally sold it...

Your gonna have to build a create and drop it of at a freight shipping center, usually you just drop it off at like a fedex freight center at the airport.

Check out local conmpanies in your area that bring in or send out lots of freight (not the freight companies themselves but people who use the freight companies).

If someone has a short truck going out to where you want the machine to go you can possibly get it sent a lot cheaper then the freight companies would charge you. Also, someone at one of the companies might be able to turn you on to a trucker who is looking to get a fill for a backload, truckers don't like to take empty trucks back and a buck is always better than zero.

Do NOT let them throw it in with a meat load or a produce load (or a back load that was a meat load or produce load on the way in), your customer on the other end will be bitching loudly when he gets a crate that stinks of dead cow.

just my :2 cents:

Seems like the battle is over pricing and how it's going to ride

From where to where?

You could also check with Amtrak, I know they will do cargo much like Greyhound does.

You mean you want to ship physical wealth?

How about dis-assembling some of it until it's 2 or more parts which individually make it under greyhounds limit?

I wanted to disassemble the whole thing, but it doesn't look like the best idea when you see it

That was my first thought, to find a short truck
That is a really good idea
