[TowerTalk] shipping large, heavy object

[Mickey Baker]

After you get it strapped/packed for shipping and have correct dimensions
and weight, post it on uship.com. Be patient and you may find and
independent trucker or individual who will do it for a bargain price, or the
freight companies that respond will give you their prices right up front.

Good luck!
