Yep, you read that right. I need to ship a long block and some other goodies. I'm hoping that someone in here has shipped a motor in a crate or by other means across the country and can lend some insight. There are a handful of parts accompanying the motor, so I'm assuming a crate is better than a pallet here. Additionally, one of those parts is exhaust, and that could be a long crate. I'll have exact measurements soon. What I'm looking for: A company that can pick up at a residence, and drop off at a business (to eliminate the need for a lift gate on the Minnesota end) This company would preferable provide a crate and do the packaging at the seller's home to eliminate headache and keep the contents as safe as possible.
Uship.com has worked really well for me in the past. Put up a post and get bids and take the best one.
