Need block shipped from Fla. to Ct.

I've used Old Dominion a lot on rear ends and engines. I can usually ship Diff's for 100-125 bucks almost anywhere and engines a bit more. I usually do terminal to terminal. Seems FedEx and UPS are always the highest.

Have the guy build a small simple crate for it, make sure stuff is clean or tell them it's new. If they move it and a gallon of antifreeze or oil or something comes out they'll do all the hazmat crap and price will skyrocket.

Thanks Ironside,
just an empty block, no fluids

I have not used them myself but I have heard good reports from folks that have used Fastenal.

They will ship store to store for reasonable fees.

It must be on a pallet, you have to take it to the shipping store and the recipient has to pick it up at the receiving store. No pickup or delivery.

Chose R & L, best price (245)
BDR does not pick up in FLA.
FYI: engine block is "Class 85"
pick up point will need a "Bill of Lading",
Which can be printed online.
forklift on both ends eliminates need for lift gate (extra charge)
cheaper to send business to business
be prepared for phone call hand offs
and being put on hold

Thanks to all who replied
