shipping parts

want to ship a pallet parts from Texas (79072) to Wisconsin (53153) any suggestions or ideas? I figure ask the experts before I go off half ****ed.

 

I used forward air out of st louis a few years back, I know they used to operate out of several different airports, cheap, but you have to take it to them, and pick up at their docks.

I keep hearing about that site ushipit.com I've never used it but everyone seems to get pretty reasonable pricing from them!

 

Thanks, I'll check it out.

 

Freightquote.com, they work with a bunch of different carriers.

 

There should be more than one freight company that has a shipping dock in Plainview.

If the buyer can pick the pallet up at the dock in Waukesha that might save some shipping and it looks like it might be a pretty direct route with few transfers.

Dock to dock usually saves a few bucks on shipping and most outfits won't pickup or deliver to a residence anyhow. No forklift or dock to get the pallet of the truck.

Check rates several ways though as they can vary a whole bunch. I used to spend most of my day ordering stuff for a company that I used to work for and there there are a lot of differences in both cost and time between companies.

It's best if you build a solid crate for what you are shipping too. That will keep things secure and keep prying eyes and hands off what might be on the pallet.

 

they will get it done, and cheap. I have used them several times.
