FWIW we've had FedEx destroy hundreds of thousands of dollars of gear in transit (all shipped with full insurance and properly packed). They're extremely slow to pay their insurance claims on large amounts, as well. This has happened to us at least 5 times so far - cross-country, cross-state, and international. Choose carefully. -----Original Message----- From: N.

FedEx will be your best bet. Trust me. You COULD do a counter to counter shipment via an airline cargo desk. That MIGHT be cheaper but you will still have to transport it from your spot to their pickup and back again on the other side. Rail is not an option because it is across country. Ground/Highway is not an option because it is across country. Your only choice is by air. Use FedEx. Life is short. -Richard Matthew Zito wrote:
