    Anyone ever ship via freight or receive an item via freight?

    I'm planning on selling a large and heavy item (info below), but I'm worried that the shipping will be astronomical and/or unreliable and it will be damaged.
    It'll be a one time thing too, which I'm not too sure is even possible.



    So, let me know your experiences, and any help too- companies to go with, services to use...


    Approx dimensions (not yet packed up)-

    30" x 38" x 34"

    Weight

    100+ pounds


    Thanks.

    I'd recommend getting a heavy-duty plastic pallet to put it on, and buying and cutting vertical wooden posts for it yourself, before the freight company arrives.

    I've used UPS Freight a number of times, and haven't had any problems with them, since I switched to plastic pallets.
