I have a lead on buying a good motor but it's several states away and I can't drive over to get it.
Who has shipped a motor that can give me some ideas on who to call? I'll need someone to drop off a pallet (I guess) strap it on, and get it shipped to Texas. Company names? Someone coming my way? What I will be paying? Thanks for the help! Bandjoey |

I used them last for a 400lb comercial lawn mower on a palet. GA to PA for $175. I think rates have gone up a bit but it saved me over $800 from buying local. They did take a couple days longer than expected but I told them price and not timing was most important. I saved a bit by shipping to a local business. The business had a forklift and then I drove the mower to my house. Hope it works for you. |
