    Help: Looking for a freight company to ship fenders from east coast to west coast

    Has anyone shipped anything palletized from back east to the west coast? If so, which company? Better yet, which ones to avoid? Also, how much did you pay for a pallet? I'm having fenders and rear bumpers shipped to me.

    1972 911-T sold
    1972 911-S Targa

    I had a pair of SWB fenders shipped to me for little cost and fast delivery via Greyhound's parcel service. The seller and I did have to drive the fenders to/pick up at local depots, but they seem to be pretty much everywhere.

    I have had very good success with Fastenal, the commercial hardware company. They will ship on a space available basis, from their location closest to your shipper, to the closest store to you, for a very reasonable rate. They excel with the big bulky items. Very professional
    They like a sturdy box or crate.
    For example, I have shipped 911 motors, in a crate, from Seattle to the East Coast for $250-$300.00 each. 4 wheels w/tires from Seattle to Indy for $150.00.
    On their site under 3PL = Third party logistics ??
