ok so im runnin out of options here and i didnt know if anyone esle has some ideas.

I got a guy out on Georgia (im in AZ) that has a front diff for my truck with 4.56 gears for a really good price. ive been tryin for the last week to figure out a cost effective shipper for the diff. We ship stuff freight all the time from my shop so ive called and talked to our third party shipper on wrkin a deal with con-way frieght to get it here for a good price but since he is residential its a 75 surcharge they cant wave and the closest hub for him to drop it off too is 1.5 away from him. Ive looked at UPS and Fed Ex but they want about the same as conway with the 75 dollar charge (its 150 plus 75 from conway, 225 from UPS or FedEx no matter what). Is this my only options? we have accounts with UPS and Prostar (they are our thrid party) but i just dont have the coin to spend that much to ship it.

Why can't you just box it and ship it ground instead of freight?

cause ill probably get charged an over sized box fee, possibly over weight (not sure if the front diff is 150 or more lbs), and im sure some other crap that would make it around 200+ again.

whats forward air????

damn lotsofmiles. its in toccoa GA right now
