Try contacting some of the carriers at the Airport. I had to take my item
to the Airport, and when I got back to Chicago I had to go to the Airport to
pick it up. Sure if you use a carrier that is not affiliated with the
Airlines you will pay more. The problem you will have is the guy you are
buying it from has to crate it also. offer him an extra 50 to crate it for
you, and take it to the Airport. I would think they would have equipment to
take it off a pickup truck, and to put it back on a truck also. Pat
