Can anyone on the forum recommend a shipper to bring a short block from Michigan to Georgia. Any idea what something like that would cost? Thanks in advance...Mike

I signed up with Freight Quote.com. They compare all the shippers in the area and you pick your deal. Just got a quote to ship from Pa. to Ga. and it was just $125. That's a dock to dock price. Bad part is it has to be secured to a pallet and completely crated. No plastic wrap. i just use 2x2's and heavy cardboard.
By the way a crated up sb short block is right around 300lbs. Good luck, Pops

Hi Mike, I'll check on my shipping label tomorrow to see who shipped it for me.I had it shipped from Chicago to Ga.I also have a loading dock which made it cheaper.Also you can pick it up at the terminal.
