Red face Shipping an engine...

Alright I found some who wants to buy the 6bolt block in my sig. I was wondering if anyone has shipped/recieved a block. Was it on a pallet? And does anyone know of any decently priced freight companies?
Thanks,
EZ

EDIT: I looked on UPS and it was like 130 junior bacon cheese burgers!!!

I found a place called UShip.com where shippers bid to ship your item, and the lowest wins. Pretty cool.

Damn that sounds like sumthing my GF's dad does. He works constuction and to get comercial jobs u have to bid on them and the lowest gets it. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Re: Shipping an engine...

You may be able to give it to a trucker, I think my dad used to do kind of a delivery thing like that when he drove truck. You gotta be careful though, some of those guys are pretty sleezy. Also, my mom ships through a company called speedee, they are cheap as fuck. We shipped 40lb boxes that were 4 ft tall, two feet wide, and two feet deep for between $12-$16. We may have been getting a deal, but it was dirt ass cheap and I would imagine it would be cheaper for you.
