Shipping bulk items can be pricey , I payed a pretty penny ..over $200 to have my rear fenders shipped from Chicago Ill. to central PA.,in a box trailor.
then again if you search the internet for shipping brokers as my Uncle did he found a car hauler going from Houston Texas to NewJersey with a bunch of new f-350 work trucks for the city of Trenton and there was an open spot , the hauler charged us $500 flat to haul my complete 52 and drop it off in front of my house ,from the interstate they were traveling was abought a 30 mile detour to get to me, I thought $500 was MORE THAN REASONABLE.
Just a suggestion.
