Thanks. I'm doing additional searches right now, but figured someone on here might already know or have ideas I havent thought of yet concerning the issue.

It's less expensive if you ship from and to dist. centers rather than door-to-door.   Nathan Hindman (Nathanh) Member Username: Nathanh Post Number: 166 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 10, 2004 - 12:53 pm:    FedEx Freight tends to be a bit on the expensive side IMHO. I'd suggest going through Forward Air if you don't mind going terminal to terminal. They're really affordable, and super fast. http://www.forwardair.com Thanks, Nathan Hindman http://www.pangaea-expeditions.com   Melissa N (Roverchic) Member Username: Roverchic Post Number: 134 Registered: 02-2004 Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2004 - 08:43 pm:    Chris, there really is only one plausible solution here.

I picked it up at the airport, strapped unwrapped to a pallet. Cost was $75 inclusive of the 'pallet' charge from Denver to Los Angeles. Delivered to airport by sender, picked up at airport at my end.....

I had a Rovertym slimline and a roof rack shipped to Alaska. The cheapest method was truck freight. STAY AWAY FROM FED EZ!!!
