[T3] Shipping

[Leland Gray <grayda@erols.com>]

Here is just an idea of what shipping costs are for something large.  I
am shipping Squareback doors from Washington, D.C., to Atlanta, GA.
They are individually boxed and weight is approximately 85-90 lbs per
box.  Dimensions of each box:  Height = 43 inches; Length = 42 inches;
Width = 14 inches;

UPS - too big, won't ship
US Mail - too big, won't ship
Airborne Express - $189.55 (3 to 5 days)
Roadway Package Systems (RPS) - too big, won't ship
Mail Boxes, Etc.. - $220 per box (local)
Parcel Plus - $150 per box (local)
PakMail Plus - $95 per box (local; included pick-up)
Greyhound - $93.75 for both
Amtrack - $25 per box (obviously my choice)

So if you intend to ship something big, here are the rates you will
probably find.  AmTrack will be my choice.
