I've shipped LOTS of heavy datacenter gear via FedEX cross countryb4 without problems as well. -Jim -----Original Message----- From: Deepak Jain [mailto:deepak@ai.net] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 3:08 PM To: Matthew Zito; Nanog@merit.edu Subject: RE: Cross-country shipping of large network/computer gear? We've shipped (using Fedex International Freight) 300+lb pallets of Sun gear without any untoward delays or problems. Multiple times. The pricing was excellent and the service (once they knew freight was involved) was fine. I think bad experiences with fedex have more to do with the statistical probability of a problem occurring over x million deliveries rather than a problem with the vendor itself. Deepak Jain AiNET

Hello,

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.

Thanks again, Matt
