Default Shipping

Who here has shipped an engine before and who did you go through. I'm thinking either UPS or FEDEX. Their website support sucks. I can't figure out if it needs to go freight or what.

I've never shipped one before and just trying to get a heads up on what kind of requirement, restrictions, or prepartations I need to make.

Thanks

You'll have to freight ship it if you use FedEx I believe

You will get much better rates if you call an OTR freight co. Most will let you strap it to a pallet and ship it.

Try to google "over the road shipping" or truck freight companies.
