Shipping a motor

[jrinlv]

Hey I just quoted $395 to ship a motor that I packed up, they pick it up at my house and ship it (From Las Vegas) to PA. Is that real high or is it me, If you guys have any tips for me please do tell. Thanks JR


After thought: A motor really weighs in at 400 lbs., I can lift 400 lbs. still??

You can usually get a cheaper rate if you ship terminal to terminal. I will try to remember whom I used. :confused:

I think U.S. Express shipped my motorcycle engine terminal to terminal for $125. Florida to Ohio. Although they shipped it second party as I made arrangements with a differant company. Hope that makes sense.
