Weight isn't the issue for either UPS or FedEx, you're oversized by a
bit if calculated at 4x2x2. Can you repackage it and reduce the size?
You can play online with both companies web site and calculate your
shipping costs and such.

I'm asking 'cause I figure somebody here might know, and the contents
of
said box will be used to get to races, and I work on race bikes in the
shop...
I'm trying to ship a box weighing about 100 lbs, and perhaps slightly
dimensionally too big for a common carrier. it's coming from wichita,
kansas and I'm trying to get it to tallahassee, florida. now, if it
isn't,
in fact too big l/w/h, fedex will take it cheap. but if it is
oversized in
some dimension, they won't. the guy shipping doesn't seem to want to
pack
it and take it to u.p.s. to see if they'll just take it (I *know* I've
shipped stuff via u.p.s. that weighed more than 70 lbs.), which leaves
me
with freight companies, as far as I can tell.
forward air doesn't seem to have a depot in wichita, and I'm getting
some
truly nutty rate quotes (like $375) on some other sites I tried. last
year
I could ship a ancient tig welder here from california for near $500,
and
that thing weighs at least 600 lbs, iirc. and this was after everybody
and
their brother tacked on extra fuel charges.
so somebody recommend a way to get this thing from there to here.
there's
nothing special about it, just a box, under 100 lbs., slightly under
4'*2'*2'.
