Have you considered - Anchor Atlantic
https://anchoratlantic.com/ I only hear good things. A lot less to ship to NJ than to West Coast. Would also be interested in hearing feedback from other forum members if they've used Anchor Atlantic. Good Luck, Sean QUOTE(rfinegan @ Feb 9 2021, 07:01 PM)  I got my heeds all pack to ship to the builder CA. 15x15x14 33 lbs nice and safe packing...Who do you use?

Anchor Atlantic Is top notch.
If you have a fedex account I can’t imagine shipping more than $60 x-country. |

Maybe shipping via two large USPS priority mail flat rate boxes or regional box B would work?

No. Not big enough and the heads need to have a lot of bubble wrap around them. But $47 is good and more like what I expected since I pay ~$50 to ship a pair of Fuchs x-country in a medium heavy duty box from Home Depot. An account is nice to have. Cheaper and faster and you don’t have to show ID. |

Ditto on Anchor Atlantic. They did the heads for the 2.7 for the 1968 911. First class work and fairly priced. I think it was under $75 via FedEx including insurance. I’ll use them again.

Doesn't the Dr Evil ship transmissions in a plastic tub? He might have a good method.

We use a combination of Fedex ground and USPS to get the best band for the buck. Keep in mind that we have all different sizes of packages, but the real key with any service you use is--- pack well!
