I'm looking for referrals to any decent shipping
companies people here
have dealt with in the past. Preferably, ones who can deal with the
transportation of "obsolete" computer equipment within the continental
U.S. I've got a lead on a couple of moderate sized computer systems,
about 2.25ft x 4.20ft x 5ft in size, and probably around 800lbs each.
(The weight is just a guess.) I'd need door-to-door service on this one.
Someone who can pick them up at a loading dock, and wheel them into a a
garage for me on the other end.
Although they are not door to door, ForwardAir has probably the cheapest
shipping rates for large things, typically around $0.25/lb. The drawback
is that you must deliver the item to one of their regional terminals
(usually located near major airports) and retrieve it from the same.
If you can find local delivery companies to do the short haul work, it may
save you some money.
