Shipping a 42" deck???

[Shuboxlover 480]

I'm sure someone here at some point shipped a deck. My question is, how did you do it??? Who did you use??? How much was it (i know it depends on origin & destination)

I may have to ship one in the the near future, so I was just wanting to know the ins and outs of it.

Thanks

First, advertise it in the appropriate classifieds section here. If you get no biters...

Try Uship.com

You post what you want to ship, when, to where...shippers see it and bid on it. I'd guess that since a deck will fit easily into a truck, you'll find someone willing to handle it cheaply (say $100) since they can piggyback it on another shipment along the way. I just had a C195 tractor with 60" deck shipped about 200 miles for less than $200 and the guy stuck it in the back of the horse trailer he was pulling for another customer.

If you can be flexible, your price will be better. It's an ebay service and there are fees, but that's part of life.
