I've been trying to find a decent method of shipping a TR-9753 from New Mexico to Mark Anderson in Washington. The problem is that either the quotes I get are absurd ($300 from Fastenal) or exclude it on weight (I weighed the transformer and it came in at 130 pounds). I could wrap it in wood and throw it to UPS but I somehow doubt it'd make it (I tried to price things on the UPS site and it's unusable {finally got an estimate of $173 UPS ground, $215 for ground at freight prices as a class 50 and 150 pounds}). I've used Forward Air before but the nearest terminal to Mark is Seattle and 500 miles.
All the prices I'm seeing seem kind of extreme. Am I just missing some options? Something LTL that's a little more reasonable? I'm planning on tossing it on a 30x30 pallet and crating over it.
