Shipping a toolbox
Hey I'm a tech in Miami, thinking of relocating soon. What do you guys do when you move as far as transporting a toolbox. That is basically the largest item I have, and uhaul rates are crazy. I think freight is my only option. I have a mac tech 1000 full of tools. Probably west coast. Any idea of cost, any recommended shippers.
Thanks

If your moving yourself just wrap it up and put it in the back of a u-haul truck. If not. Than you will have to put it on a pallet and take it to a trucking company drop it off there, tell them you will pick it up at there nearest dock close to your new house. That would be the cheapest. Than I would bubble wrap the hell out of it and get insurance thur the shipper for the box. It my cost 400 bucks or more to ship it.
Personally I would put it in the back of a pick-up or on a trailer. I have seen numerous boxes get damaged by shipping them!
