[TowerTalk] freight cost of tower part

[john at kk9a.com]

Are you intentionally looking for the highest shipping rate?  I have found
freight to be reasonably priced if you take the time to find companies that
ship in the area and if you ship to a business or terminal. It is even less
money if you can use the account of a business that has discounts.

DHL, that only ship internationally, offered to cut the ~$6000 shipping cost
by 
$6 resp $7 if it got dropped off and picked up at their terminals instead of

the door-to-door offer. Generous I say. I think it will be uship.com,
estes.com 
or me driving to myself.
