IMO, The best thing to do is find a trucking co. to pick it up, or maybe Foward Air. ;) Not fedex or UPS that for sure to much $$$.

I used Mapp Cargo and it cost me $250 from California to Texas.

Also try Land Sea Express. The advantge of Forward Air is that they will provide you with the container.

Otherwise you build it yourself.

Do you HAVE to use a container?

I used a moving company. Just found one that happened to be going that way and got my R from Ohio to AZ for either $325 or $350. Can't remember anymore. No crate. Door to door.
