I used this company and it went well and was less then $300 to ship a crate with a broken down Air Command, the rotor blades,
and a separate crate with an engine as shown on the truck. Might give then a shot. Attachment: Image1.jpg Attachment: crates 003.jpg You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. |

That DB Schenker seem pretty good, maybe they are only international? Why don't you see if your company has any deals with freight companies and get it freighted to your work? (and get the boss to pay the bill)
  Maybe at your work, someone might have friends in low places that can organise something? Worth asking   There is always this company below  I cant remember the name.... I can look it up for you, if you like?

If I can get it picked up at his house, and delivered to a freight terminal here in ATL, I will be good, since I work at the airport I can pickup no problem, I have just never arranged anything for pickup before.

That's what I mean Scott.... there must be a freight terminal for every freight company in existence within the airport precinct, surely the company you work for has depots and fingers in pies everywhere, I would have thought it would be easy for you to find someone who can bring it right to you there _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned!

Scott- That box in Yuma, Arizona was in my shop. I kept the engine and filled it with corn instead! Ask John!

You may want to try Freightquote
http://www.freightquote.com/ I have used them 20 or 30 times over the last 18 years and they have always done me right. This may sound odd but what you have in the box can make a BIG difference in price. DO NOT USE THE WORD AIRCRAFT !!!! _________________ Making deplorables great again |

How heavy is it ? UPS will now take up to 150
pounds. I think FedEx may do the same. They both used to have a 100 pound limit but I think it has been raised to 150. _________________ Making deplorables great again |
