what shipping company to use for sending off a block?
like title says.
I have a few interested in the bare block im trying to sell and i realized i have no idea where to start when it comes to shipping out something so heavy!
should i get a pallet and strap down the little 1.6 block ? or wrap it up in plastic wrap and stick a shipping address to it?
go UPS? or a freight company?
Thanks!

**** anything other than freightquote.com.
I had to ship a OEM jeep top and UPS wanted something like $350 to ship it, but through freightqoute.com I was able to ship it via Fedex freight for $120.
I had a ******* tractor trailer pull up at the shop and we just lifted the pallet and loaded it in.
I highly recommend you check them out. I'm willing to bet you wont find cheaper prices, nor anything easier to set up the shipment.

I used FreightCenter.com to ship a complete engine with all accessories and clutch from northern MD to Dallas Texas and it was only $225 and they picked it up and dropped it off residential.
