I use U-ship. I can't say that you will always find a reasonable quote, but I often have.
The Maytag combo came to me from San Francisco to St. Louis for $325. | ||

U-Ship
But things can be a crap shoot. Sometimes nothing but many high bidders, then out of the blue (and often with short notice) someone reasonable comes along. You have to normally act fast on the latter as it often is someone just leaving or going through the area where item is located on their way to your town.
Truth to tell all shipping from USPS/UPS/FedEx to various places like C&F, U-Ship, and U-Crate have gotten more expensive. You'd think with gas at all time low prices things would be cheaper. | ||

Launderess, you always nail it, re: uShip
I had the McClary Easy shipped from Forida for 150, the 65 Lady K from Temple Texas for 300, both machines as add-ons, or opportune pick-ups-en route, to existing orders, and happened very quickly. BUT THEN when I tried to get a machine from a town in NY below Albany, a 5-6 hour drive, they wanted 350, fifty bucks more than the shipments from Florida and TEXAS, for Christ's sake.
I got to know a shipper named Karl from Tennessee who told that me he hates to deal with NY, even though a former native, because everything is so much more expensive here than anywhere else in the US, and that the weigh in stations are terribly picky, and they blah blah blah. Anyone who wants Karl's services, email me and I'll send you his particulars. In fact, I'll call him tomorrow and ask him if he'll allow me to publish his particulars here at Aworg. He travels with a magnificent cat named Cujo, the name, a joke, because the cat is the sweetest guy around, | ||

Forgot to ask in my previous reply BTW, anyone out there have or know where I can find a matcing(ish) dryer for my lonely washer above? Even a BOL would be fine. Sorry, not intending to hijack this thread. | ||
