Anyone use them to ship axles or other stuff? They seem pretty damn cheap. $211 to ship an axle from the Green Bay dock to Sac Dock (door to door is an extra $80)....Freightpro sounded good until its delivered door to door (extra $210) I can't use freightair cause its 120 miles away from me.

The big bitch axle is going in a full blown crate....should be safe.

insure it all right and don't tell the driver whats in the crate or it might not leave the neighborhood. You can't beat that price though.:)

I used them once. Pack it good because they are REAL rough on stuff. I swear they dropped it with the forklift. First time I ever saw a pallet broken in 5 places. :D

Has anyone shipped TWO axles before?? If not, does anyone have any ideas on what they would cost (MA to TX)?
