Hi there. I am new to the forum and am looking at buying a large plastic molded gas sign that is 69" x 52. Any suggestions on whom to use and what the cost would be around? Any help with ideas on costs would be VERY appreciated. The sign is in New Jersey and I live in Florida. It is lightweight, but large. Thanks so much in advance. ARA

Thanks for the replies. I am going to call North American as well as freightcenter.com. BUT anyone have any shot in the dark guess at about what it will cost to ship? $100, $500, ???? I will see if he can box it, but I doubt it as it's pretty big. Thanks, and thanks for the offer to help Mr. South Jersey...I appreciate it. I will let you know. I grew up in Belmar NJ... ARA

Try to get a weight and dimensions. That will help the shippers.

Must be the size. I had a quote form them to move a gas pump from California to Montana for around $400. Cheaper than driving there and back.

thanks for the replies. I may just try to find some signs in Florida where I live. That may be tough though....I got other quotes on the sign I was looking at, and the cheapest was $390.00. Any Florida collectors looking to move some of their signs??...LOL.... Thanks again for all the advice and opinions. They are appreciated. ARA
