    I've used ABF before and was very happy with their service and price. They have a online special rate on their site that makes the price reasonable.

    So far:

    DHL only does to 150lbs
    Fedex does heavy but only if you ship by air
    which translates in to $1250. or more in cost.
    ABF is best so far but still pricey at $855.

    will keep looking,

    Luc, you have to get the special price by using their online service for the quote. I had a pair of 2.3TL's shipped from CA to MD for $240.00 which would have been $1000.00 if I called it in.

    Plycon. They shipped a large antique piece for me. I almost don't like giving them the business, cause I didn't have a particularly good experience with them, but it was due to one moron at a specific warehouse I suspect, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of a doubt. The antique dealer seems to trust them with pretty pricey stuff regularly.
