I am bidding on an engine that I will probably win.  Problem is its in Alabama and I am in Texas.  DHL, FedEx, UPS etc are out of the question because they do not pick up packages for delivery unless you have an account with them and ship on a regular basis.

Are there any other shippers out there that would do this?  I don't mind running over to their warehouse to pick it up but driving to Alabama is out of the question.

Thanks!

Another good company is American.  You might be able to save a bunch by having someone with a freight company billing account handle the shipping for you.  You would simply reimburse them for the cost.  It wasn't uncommon for freight companies to give 50% discounts to good customers.  You probably know someone who works for a company that does a fair amount of LTL shipping.

This may sound crazy, but if you have a Greyhound bus terminal in your area, try them, a company I used to work for shipped heavy/bulky items with them for the price of a ticket!
