So..............any suggestions for a company that will ship a crate affordably for an average person? I have a UPS account and will be calling them this afternoon but an already certain that they will be stupid expensive.</div>

Any of you have a business license that would be willing to let me use it to set up this shipping? A big ask, I know but I am starting to get desperate. </div>
