Following Eric's advice I called Freight Center and talked to Kevin - x1024.
He was very helpful. My deal with the seller fell thru but the shipping
would have been very straight forward with Kevin's help.

They give you multiple quotes for all the major (and many smaller)
companies that make the route.

[Shop-talk] Shipping equipment
I'm probably going to purchase a piece of vintage woodworking equipment
(shop content), a Millbury tenoner to be exact. It weighs about 450
pounds crated, and it's in West Virginia and I'm in the Puget Sound
area. I'm going to need to have it shipped, as it's the wrong time of
year for a 4500 mile road trip.
There have been several references in the past to freight brokerage
services that in effect take bids on shipping your goods. Can anyone
point me to these businesses?
Thanks
Dave
