Stan, Thanks for the link, I believe this was the one I have been searching for. I saw a guys classified add and he was touting he could send really big heavy stuff like sliding doors and rear doors, and rear bench seats anywhere in the north America for $85 bucks! How much experience have you had with them? I was trying to buy a sink fridge unit from a guy back east but we were stumped as to how to get it out here. Thanks, Doug
