I'm looking to purchase some bigger sda's. I live in the middle of no where so driving and picking them up isn't a option. So I need to ship them. Problem is I need the company to crate them up etc as the person doesn't have anything to do it with. Also would need to go and pick them up at there place. I can have them shipped to my business so that's not a problem but I can't seem to find a place that will do this. Am I screwed? I know it will cost me but I don't have time to take off and drive there and pick them up. Does anyone know a company that can help me?

    Craters and Freighters will pick them up from the seller, crate them and arrange the shipping.

    Call a local Pack-n-Ship store they should offer a Freight option. If they don't call another until you find one. I'd avoid The UPS Store and use them as a last option.

    I used to be the operations manager for a company associated with all the independent mail and parcel stores in the US, and this is a very common issue. However, not every little Mail and Parcel center offers freight as a service so hopefully where you live you have more than one option

    Try this website

    http://www.packfreight.com/

    Click on your state, then look for your city. It's a small sample of stores but you might get lucky.

    Best bet is the Yellow Pages. Some places offer crating in house others will have it out sourced, make sure you understand if it's part of the quote or not. Be sure to have exact dimensions and weight if you need a quote. Also be aware that unless the crate(s) are certified the contents can NOT be insured. So it;s best to have a qualified crate builder build the crates.
