ups store or fedex. but yah, u need to put dem in a box to ensure ur best rates. especially dem privately owned (?) ups stores will charge u an arm and leg and probably ur head to box it for u.

considering i shipped a 50lbs musical keyboard about 7yrs ago cross country for like 150, exhaust shouldnt be dat much different if packed properly..?

Which has always been something mingboggling to me why they are allowed to overbook/oversell flights in the first place. You have a FINITE number of seats, once they are sold they are sold.

If somebody misses their flight, tough **** they paid for their seat.

If their employees need seats, book them!

It ain't rocket science.

My dad worked for TWA back in the day. When I flew on pass (free), I couldn't get on a flight unless there were open seats. The same with TWA execs; no open seats, they sometimes got to use the jump seats. Not a comfortable way to spend 5 hours in the air...

What is interesting is that United wanted to bump paying customers (really? I thought you were in business to make money) so that 4 employees could get to their scheduled location. Fix the schedule and move on, it should be relatively simple. This is a perfect representation of why flying sucks these days, (post 9/11), airlines are finally making a profit because of stupid fees, they figure they can be asshats to their customers and get away with it because 'captive market'....

yeah they were charging like $20-25 for packing per package and they wanted to put it in 3 packages. they wanted $400 just for one box which was 35lbs. i'm sure i can get it all packed in one large box maybe a 40x40x10 or two boxes at the most. just don't see how it would $600+ for the shipping.
