Title: Looking for a shipping company
Post by: coinopgullwing on April 29, 2014, 10:23:38 pm
Needing to find a shipping company to transport a soda machine from the st. Louis, Missouri area to central part of Kansas. The company (seller) does not palletize or crate it. I could not pass on the machine, there is something about the odd ball machines (pepsi deepfreeze).

I think if he boxed it (cardboard box) it would qualify as a oversized parcel with FedEx.  He just takes it to ANY FedEx location just as he would a small package.  Send it FedEx Ground and it should all be good!
I just did this with a Quikold Jr (about the same size) and it worked out well for me, and pretty easy for the seller too I think (other than finding a right size box)

U ship would work too, but I've never used that before, so I can't say how well.... but in using them, you're dealing with people, rather than a well known company etc.... good points with both I guess lol

Hope this helps
