[TR] shipping

[Steve Thornton]

I shipped a TR3 hardtop years ago by putting it on a pallet and securing with lots of shrink wrap. Greyhound provided the best price at the time. Of course, the receiving party needs to pick it up at the bus depot.

Worked out well.

I shipped one UPS a few years ago.  Made a crate as I would for an overdrive transmission. Check with UPS what their weight limit is.

Also, this sounds crazy but Fastenall used to carry shipments between their stores at pretty good prices.  It would be worth a call to see if they still do.
