My son wants me to build him a fireplace mantle. The two-pillar, top-shelf

The thing is, he lives 2500 miles from me, so I'm going to have to ship it.
Other than getting quotes from the standard shippers (UPS, FedEx, etc.) I'm

I look to the collective wisdom of this group for creative options.


I think building it in three sections that can be assembled on site is a
good idea.

I think Greyhound still does shipping.
Also, Fastenal does shipping store to store.



Yeah, I forgot about Fastenal. I was going to use them once but whatever
situation was, it went away. Thanks for the reminder.
