Need help with shipping a hood please. Help?

redEYEjedi · 08-11-2012, 04:11 PM

Hi,

I'm actually looking to purchase a hood from Oregon. I would like to ask the forum for any suggestions for the best, and most economical method, to transport it down without having to personally pick it up.

Thanks in advance!

Have you heard of UPS?

I just shipped a hood from PA to CA. It Cost me about $265 including insurance.

I can't remember the name of the company, but I googled "freight shipping" and used a broker.

That's probably the way to go. Took about a week.

Thanks for the suggestion on using a broker. I don't normally ship large items like a hood so wasn't sure what others have used in the past.

For the other "useful" comments.. thanks for the laughs. At least Im laughing.. just not with you.
