Question engine shipping company?
A friend of mine is having an engine shipped to here from AZ....and has no idea what a good shipping company is. If any of you have experience in shipping large heavy metal objects, please let me know. Thanks

I bought a tranny recently and it was shipped via Estes, the price was a little high but it was timely and well taken care of.

AMW used Roadway and not only was the first pallet held together by the motor when it got here, they charged both of us for the shipping!

BAX Global is the best IMHO, and frequently the cheapest too...
