Oren, they will still take individual shippers that
they've never met before?


The website mentions offices in the US, but doesn't give any
addresses, only an address and phone and fax and email in Bangladesh.


mm,


I thought I was being generic, using crate n freight - not company
specific and you find a freight n crate company.


That's pretty funny.

And I didn't even notice that the two verbs were reversed. * *
* freightncrate







I used a local company, about 5 years ago. We shipped a master bedroom
set (family heirloom) from NV to NJ. I had the pieces outside, cleaned
and ready for the company. They did not crate on premises but wrapped
the furniture in plastic. The company crated the furniture, shipped to
NJ and delivered to the house. I would have to ask the bride for the
company name or cost. *It is not the company in the link.


I was introduced to a man that is building a house (owner build). He
owns a crating and *freighting business franchise.


I made a call and the company is called - Craters & Freighters .

Thank you to all. I will get a quote from one of the above links. I
won't need to ship anything for about seventeen years, but I'm going
to need to ship a whole bunch of huge crates to either the Philippines
or French Guyana and the stress of wondering whether it's going to
cost an arm and a leg has been on my mind a few days out of every week
for about a year and a half.
