Hi Paul, you may want to check the links provided below. I used something similar to these links (there are others) to have large items such as what you are dealing with shipped to my location.

I did the research by using such links, contacted the seller with the info. and provided the seller with options to find a local shipper (trucking company) in his area that would serve both his location and my location with a shipment called LTL (Less than truck load). We both worked together to get it done.

The latest example I had was from upper Michigan to NC. Rate was reasonable in my opinion but of course that is between you and the buyer. Depends on how much the item is desired by the buyer?

Once item arrived in NC that trucking company for example RTL, Old Dominion, Estes, etc. contacted me to arrange for the drop. If the drop is made at a business address or the buyer (me) elects to pick up at the trucking company site (terminal) the rate is less than a drop at the residence (my home QTH).

Hope the links below work, if not use GOOGLE or BING to bring them back up and view many others. The last link is a very good trucking/shipper. The idea is to find a shipper near the sellers and buyer location that has service to both those areas. Most large scale trucking companies have terminals either nationwide or for example serve the mid western states, east coast, etc.

Good luck with whatever you decide. 73! Ed K5OF in NC
