Cheap shipping rates for heavy parts

[roger black]

Is Railway Express still in business?? Seems they were very reasonable
years ago with odd shaped, heavy parts. Shipped an A model Ford drive
shaft/rear axle to my brother and it was delivered to their door in New
Orleans. What his wife said upon receipt is not suitable for posting. He
didn't warn her of its impending arrival. Could be one of the reasons it's
now ex-wife.{:>) She had no sense of humor.

Many thanks Ken! I've been shipping from my business' for 30 years and
have never seen a rate like this for heavy, slightly heavy and
cumbersome items. Been looking for this online for a couple years.
Nice going! Now all we need is a "Consumers Reports" for the shipping
business for business consumers.
