I'm having a large and unusually shaped item shipped from New Jersey to
California. One part will need to be crated and the rest boxed. Is there
someone in the Boonton area that can recommend a shipper? I would need
the shipper to bring along the materials to crate the item.
I would also entertain paying a list member local to the area to crate and
pack the item, and coordinate with a local shipping company.
Please reply privately if you can help out.
Thanks!

Sellam if its something a member could put in an SUV or maybe a uhaul,
they could drive it up to Newark Airport and drop it off at Forward Air
shipping which has a hub there, and Forward Air could then ship it over
to the SJ airport where airport where you could pick it up.
www.forwardair.com
The only disadvantage of Forward Air if you have to drop off/pickup but
their prices are great, they are (last time I used them, most of the
Video Arcade collectors use them) $28 per 100lbs

Hi Curt.
Yes, I've used ForwardAir a couple times and in both cases it worked out
well. I am actually considering making a 2-3 day trip out of it. I've
never been to Jersey before and plane fare is relatively cheap these days
(<$200 round-trip on JetBlue). I don't relish going through the Arab
Harassment Process...er, I mean security checks at the airport, but I like
short little adventures like this.

ForwardAir sounds pretty economical -- do they ship from Canada to the US as
well?
