I needed a TV shipped from MA to CA, Craters & Freighters was so freaking expensive they were out of the question.
I did a little searching around with Google and found "the Packaging Store"
http://www.thepackagingstore.com/
I called them and found a branch just 14 miles from the seller of my TV.
They quoted a price nearly $200 cheaper than C&F, and they assured me they were specialists in shipping fragile items.
The set arrived today in perfect shape, packed very nicely with foamed in place padding, strapped to a pallet and shipped via truck to my door.
The final price was actually $60 cheaper than their quote!
They were a bit slower in picking it up and packing it but in the end the only thing that matters to me is the price and the set not getting damaged. :yes:
