Hi all --
I have a full-height rack of computer stuff I need to get packed up and
shipped from near Fresno, CA (Reedly, to be specific). I was hoping to use
Craters & Freighters as I've used them before and they seem to do OK work,
but they don't have a location near enough. I'm not too familiar with
other options -- anyone know of anyone in that area that they'd recommend?
Or maybe a long road trip is in my future. And a truck...
Thanks,
Josh

Josh,
Forward Air did OK with a pallet I shipped to Ethan D.. I drove my car up with computers,
straps, cardboard, and shrink-wrap. They pointed me at a pallet, I took a few hours to
stack computers on the pallet, pad them with pieces of torn-up cardboard, strap them down,
cocoon the whole thing with shrink-wrap. They fork-lifted it onto a scale and then their
truck. I think it made it pretty intact, but you?ll have to ask Ethan about that. Price
seemed fairly ... pallet-able ? ahem. :-) or at least competitive with Craters &
Freighters, which was my other possible option.

Thanks, Mark. The catch here is that the guy I'm getting the stuff from
isn't going to be able to help with the packing process -- I need to hire
someone to go to his place, pick the stuff up, pack it and ship it (which
Craters & Freighters will do, for a fee...)
Thanks,
Josh
