Here is the scoop on freight rates.  They have published list prices, and then 
they have contracts with companies that include discounts - up to about 90% off 
those rates.  Even when I owned a small company selling aluminum tubing and 
antennas, I had a. 75% discount with Fed X Freight (world HQ in Harrison, AR, 
so I know some of them well).  I once had a company make a shipment to us that 
was specified to go on Fed X Freight and they shipped on another carrier.  A 
bill that should have been about $200 was well over a thousand.  Find a company 
who will ship it for you using their discount and there will be big money saved.
