Best way to ship large equipmet

[Hermish]

I recently bought a house, and got out of a crappy apartment, and now I want to have my parents send out my all grain setup that is setting in their garage. So can anyone with some experience tell me the best (fast and cheap) way to send 2 keggles, a 10 g igloo, 5 cornies, and a 3 tier stand that can be unbolted for size. Not sure if it matters, but its going from California to Louisiana.

Thanks

Get it on a pallet and wrapped. Get a quote from FedEx and a local trucking company.

Box it up and get a quote from greyhound. I've shipped all kinds of ridiculous stuff with them. (usually long bench seats out of a car size) It's space available but it'll definitely save you some cash.

Fed Ex has a freight service... a couple hundred dollars should get that to you in a few days...

North American Van Lines. I have had them ship motorcycles and vintage jukeboxes.

2nd greyhound. by far the cheapest way to ship big heavy stuff, as long as you're confident about the packing.

When I moved from Portland to Omaha. I took a plane, but sent most of my stuff through Amtrack. It was the cheapest way I was able to find. That was ten years ago, they may have downsized a bit since then.

Another vote for greyhound. I shipped a car hood and bumper set for under $100 from CA to PA
