    Used to get all my unboxed deuce rails bolted and banded together on long pallets from ASC when they were in Mississippi, truck freight. Usually got a dozen pairs at a time. Never a problem.

    Tell them to pound sand and sue you. Also let them know if they ding your credit report, you'll hold them liable in court.
    There's no way they can collect late fees and penalties on a contract that's already been fulfilled and paid in full especially that old. The statute of limitations has long passed. As an example, IIRC, CA is 4 years.

    Don't you and a buddy need about a 4 day road trip? Line up a U haul trailer for the trip home, drive there, hook up the open u haul trailer, wrap the frame in a cheap HF tarp, load up and drive home.

    Lower the freight class number the lower the cost. If you don't buy the extra insurance and its lost or damaged you only get about .25 a pound.

    I have found FedEx freight, and shipping terminal to terminal to be very reasonable.
