Smile Shipping parts

We took a pallet and bolted a FE to it. Then we took a large cardboard box and put over the motor. Nailed the bottom of the box to the pallet. This way the motor was out of site. Shipped it from ALA to Texas. I don't remember what it cost. We did pick it up with an engine lift and set it, pallet and all into a pickup truck. Mike took it to the freight terminal and they unloaded it. It was cheaper to ship from the terminal. You need to know the weight of the crate and parts so they can give you a close est. on the shipping cost. Call all the freight companies near you because the price will vary a lot. If the trucking company has to use another company to get the freight to it destination, it will cost you more. If only one company handles your freight, it's cheaper.
