Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Non-Petro Discussions Non-petro Discussion and Showcase How to ship your larger/heavy items cheeper.

I have found it difficult to find inexpensive ways to ship heavy products such as pumps, meters, signs and other Petroliana or non- Pertoliana items. Here's a guy that can help Roadrunner Transportation Service I will list his info at the bottom. He shipped a eco island air meter for my friend and I it weighed in at 248 LBS with box and pallat it shiped from Livermore California to Albuquerque New Mexico for $165.00 bucks.
Here's what helps keep the cost down all items must be on a pallat and boxed well in plywood, drop the item at one of their 17 locations accross the US and send package for pick up at one of their locations. They can make other arragments for pick up and drop off but it will cost more.

Thank you! I went to their websight and there is a depot in Cleveland. I bookmarked it and will definitely try them out. Thanks again.

Me too...thanks for the heads up.

No proplem guys I hope it all works out well for your shipping needs. Even if your out of California I would suggest contacting Robert first and see what he can do for you.
