    Default Shipping from Vermont ( private owner to Ohio private address)

    I'm looking at buying a finishing pan set up from a person in Vermont and I would need it shipped into Ohio ZIP code 44201.
    What is the most economic way to get this from fire in Vermont to me in Ohio?

    I'm guessing that it probably weighs a total of 60 lb s-80 lbs...
    Thanks Matthew

    you might be able to get a common carrier to do it. or check in with a local trucker if you have any. I have had a local trucker from here bring a few things back to me on his way home form his route for real cheap... lots of times they come back empty and will throw something on their truck for a very reasonable price just so they don't "waste" the trip back! you'd have to make sure it was secured pretty well, but it's an option.

    Fastenal will ship anything on a pallet from one store to another for a very reasonable price. You might want to see if you have a local branch, and get pricing.

    try www.uship.com I used to ferry all kinds a stuff back when i was active duty and would come home on leave- cats, dogs, ebay items, usually for just enough to pay my gas bill, carriers bid on your load based on distance, schedule etc. it's all insured
