Shipping question

Hey guys,

What shipping companies are there that can ship a motor to Hawaii?
I asked a seller but he doesn't know.

Thanks.

Don't bother with courrier companies like UPS or Fedex. An engine is too big for that to be economically intellegent.

Look into freight companies. They will cost a fraction of what a courrier will charge - only drawback is it may take longer. Call some companies and see who ships to Hawaii: Meyers or Cabano Kingsway would be a good place to start.

The motor will have to be strapped to a pallette (2'X2' works well) and they wont ship to/from a residential address. That means you have to have it shipped to/from a place with a loading dock, or you take it to - and pick it up from one of their bases in your city. It's not as hard as you think!

I'll try the above. Thanks. I received an e-mail from ABF a company I found on the web. Is this a Canadian company? Have you heard of it?
