Many folks are understandably disinclined to go to all the hassle
of shipping, particularly heavy stuff that is difficult to pack and
transport. I've found the best way to deal with this is to arrange
a freight pickup. Craters and Freighters is well-known and recommended
by some folks on this group. I've had good experiences with
moveit.com,
formerly CTS. They send a driver to the location of the goods, load it,
and take care of crating and/or palletizing.
