moved?
From Green Bank, West Virginia to San Jose, Calfornia.
A couple years ago, we had a set of 10 (24" IBM

racks and a couple
of pallets moved from San Diego to West Lafayette,
and it was about
$10k
Ouch. What carrier did you use? My shipment was
arranged by CTS, via their "shippingsource.com"
full-truckload division.
Your shipment was probably declared at a high value,
which adds considerably to the price, I think.
My stuff is either scrap metal or irreplaceable
treasure, depending on one's point of view.
I simply arranged for the kind of shipment appropriate
for high-value equipment and gambled that they'd do
it right, because an insurance payout would not have
been a satisfactory outcome in any case.
