The Ford Barn

I just shipped a pair of Ford steel wheels that weighed 53#'s boxed from MN to OH.
The shipping cost was $71 to a Business address there.

It is a little cheaper to an actual Business address, rather than a residential address.

I always call the Post Office, UPS and FedEx,,,FedEx is always cheaper than others.

I will say that the Post Office is the cheapest, if you can ship your stuff in a PO Flatrate box.
The PO offers a few different sizes of Flatrate boxes, none very big.

I would like to ADD, that SpeeDee, located in St. Cloud Mn. has very reasonable rates,
but they only ship to upper midwest states, MN, ND, SD, WI, IA, Ill, and NE. and You
have to call SpeeDee and see where their shipping "drop-off" stores are in your area.
I shipped a small transmission to Chicago for $40 last year
