Wow, I never have heard of that one with shipping LTL loads (less than a
truck load).
All the 3rd party 'brokers' seem to promise one price, then once it's
shipped, they say things like, "it weighed more" or "it was an oddball
size" and they hit you with extra fees AFTER delivery that you can't
fight.
I found that UPS Freight (NOT the same UPS account) is the best.
First, call them and tell them you want an account. Then, you'll get an
account manager. Call him (or her) and tell them that you want a
discounted rate for being a 'good guy' or whatever. They will normally
automatically put a 10%-50% discount on your shipping.
Then use them.
Contact me if you have any other questions.

Subject: [Shop-talk] shipping a crate
Sent by: "Shop-talk" <shop-talk-bounces@autox.team.net>
Hey all,
I need to get a crate from WI to DE.
The shipper I tried said I need a business license to avoid a cost of
three times what it would be otherwise. (this is BS)
I tried a third-party shipper who also told me that I needed a business
license before they could help me.
So..............any suggestions for a company that will ship a crate
affordably for an average person? I have a UPS account and will be calling
them this afternoon but an already certain that they will be stupid
expensive.
Any of you have a business license that would be willing to let me use it
to set up this shipping? A big ask, I know but I am starting to get
desperate.
Thanks all
