I was wondering if anyone could provide any advice or suggestions on shipping heavy/bulky equipment (~300 pounds, about a half-rack worth of gear) on short notice cross-country? We're obviously looking to minimize cost, but realistically it can't be in transit for more than two days. Are there any companies or methods people would recommend? Thanks in advance for the help.
FedEx, or Forward Air. FedEx - Door-to-door, reliable, easy to do business with. Forward Air - Terminal to terminal. You deliver it to their facility near an airport, they deliver it to a terminal near the destination airport. This means that you need guys and a truck at both ends. A bit more trouble than FedEx to do business with. You'll typically need to palletize your gear. http://www.fedex.com/ http://www.forwardair.com/ -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Administration - jay@west.net WestNet: Connecting you to the planet. 805 884-6323 WB6RDV NetLojix Communications, Inc. - http://www.netlojix.com/
