When I sent the Audi Quattro Tranny to Connecticut, the Fed ex Toyota
Forklifts had scales built into their forks. They picked up the
pallet and told the lady in the office it weighed 205# from the
readout on their forklift. Really cool and really fast. I had
nothing but praise for their service. They also will do freight
collect so you don't have to pay for it if the recipient is the one
paying for the freight charges.
YMMV
